DESCRIPTION
"A list of alarm table entries. The table contains
zero, one, or many rows at any moment, depending upon
the number of alarm conditions in effect. The table
is initially empty at agent startup. The agent
creates a row in the table each time a condition is
detected and deletes that row when that condition no
longer pertains. The agent creates the first row with
upsAlarmId equal to 1, and increments the value of
upsAlarmId each time a new row is created, wrapping to
the first free value greater than or equal to 1 when
the maximum value of upsAlarmId would otherwise be
exceeded. Consequently, after multiple operations,
the table may become sparse, e.g., containing entries
for rows 95, 100, 101, and 203 and the entries should
not be assumed to be in chronological order because
upsAlarmId might have wrapped.
Alarms are named by an AutonomousType (OBJECT
IDENTIFIER), upsAlarmDescr, to allow a single table to
reflect well known alarms plus alarms defined by a
particular implementation, i.e., as documented in the
private enterprise MIB definition for the device. No
two rows will have the same value of upsAlarmDescr,
since alarms define conditions. In order to meet this
requirement, care should be taken in the definition of
alarm conditions to insure that a system cannot enter
the same condition multiple times simultaneously.
The number of rows in the table at any given time is
reflected by the value of upsAlarmsPresent.(*)"
