Cisco Entity Alarm List

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.138.1.2.5.1.3

This object specifies those alarms currently being asserted by the corresponding physical entity. Note, an alarm indicates a condition, not an event. An alarm has two states: 'asserted' Indicates that the condition described by the alarm exists. 'cleared' Indicates that the condition described by the alarm does not exist. For example, a slot in a chassis may define an alarm that specifies whether the slot contains a module. At the time of module insertion, the physical entity corresponding to the slot asserts this alarm, and the alarm remains asserted until the slot becomes empty. If an alarm is being asserted by the physical entity, then the corresponding bit in the alarm list is set to a one. Observe that if the physical entity is not currently asserting any alarms, then the list will have a length of zero.
