### Description

```asn1
alarmActiveContextName OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX SnmpAdminString (SIZE(0..32))
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The name of the SNMP MIB context from which the alarm came.
For SNMPv1 alarms this is the community string from the Trap.
Note that care MUST be taken when selecting community
strings to ensure that these can be represented as a
well-formed SnmpAdminString. Community or Context names
that are not well-formed SnmpAdminStrings will be mapped
to zero length strings.
If the alarm's source SNMP engine is known not to support
multiple contexts, this object is a zero length string."
```

**Classification:** MIB object for network management
