What is problemCause?

This value carries a free-text description explaining the cause of a detected system problem, delivered as part of the device's trap and alarm notification mechanism. Administrators read this text directly, rather than decoding a numeric error code, to understand at a glance what went wrong when the device raises a systemTraps alert. For example, this object might contain a string like "Fan 2 failure detected" describing exactly what triggered the problem notification.
