What is xivEventDescription?

This DisplayString, indexed by xivEventIndex, holds a detailed textual description of the corresponding event. An admin reads it to get human-readable context for an event beyond just its code, without needing to cross-reference external documentation. For example, this field might read something like 'Disk 1:5 reported a media error' to explain what xivEventCode's numeric identifier actually means.
