Object

column OctetString
Human-readable alert description for the device alert which
is recorded in this conceptual row in the 'xcmHrDevAlertTable'.
              
Usage:  This is a human-readable string, not intended for
machine parsing.  Management stations SHOULD obtain the
alert-specific fault code and severity level from the
'xcmHrDevAlertCodeString' and 'xcmHrDevAlertSeverityLevel' and 
              
              
the current status from 'hrDeviceStatus' objects rather than 
trying to interpret this string.
              
Implementators are strongly encouraged to include in this       
description:
    - a description of the problem,
    - a description of the corrective action or a statement
      that no corrective action is required,
    - a description of the impact on device operations.
              
Implementors SHOULD NOT include in this description a
statement of the current operating state of the device,
since the device state may be changed by some other event
unrelated to this alert, making any such statement invalid.
A statement such as 'Device operation may continue' or 'This
problem must be corrected before the device can resume
operation' is acceptable.
              
Usage:  Conforming implementations SHALL provide BOTH
detailed 'xcmHrDevAlertDescription' AND terse
'xcmHrDevAlertTitle' descriptions for each critical
alert and for each alert which requires human intervention.
Implementations MAY provide the same text for both strings.
              
Usage:  Implementations SHALL provide localized translations
of this string via the 'xcmGenMessageTextTable.'
              
Usage:  For devices of type 'hrDevicePrinter', this SHOULD
be the same description provided in 'prtAlertDescription' in
the IETF Printer MIB alert table.  Implementations MAY choose
to make these descriptions different in order to differentiate
between IETF-only and XCMI-aware management applications.
