Indication of the current state of the event. If the state is 'active' then the condition currently exists. If the state is 'inactive' then the condition no longer exists (i.e. the situation causing the condition has cleared or been resolved). The behavior of some devices is to remove the condition from this table when the condition clears. The behavior of other devices is to leave the condition entry in the table until the condition is acknowledged ( see lgpConditionAcknowledged and lgpConditionAckReq).
