alarm-AlarmSourceInfo
This container slot is available on any network component, and each child device component. The slot’s properties populate the alarm record when the network or device does not respond to a monitor ping. This ping is configured at the network level.
Each parent and child device object has its own Alarm Source Info slot with identical (but independently maintained) properties.
Note: For how to format alarm source information on a report, click on the help icon to the right of the field.
