That actually feels to be closer to the DisMan Event MIB,
rather than the Alarm MIB.

The Net-SNMP agent has supported a (somewhat limited) version of
the Event MIB for several years, though we're only now bringing
a (rewritten) version of both this and the Schedule MIB, into
the default configuration.
  I'm not 100% sure whether these work with the Windows version
of the agent, but if they don't, that will be down to problems
with the callback mechanism for retrieving information (and the
general Unix bias of most of the developers) rather than anything
more fundamental to the MIBs themselves.


I intend to submit a proper implementation report shortly, once
the new code has received a little more practical testing.  (*I*
think these MIBs work, but the wider Net-SNMP community may have
different ideas!)
