Which two SMTP Notification Event Details are specific to alarms triggered by events? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is A. User Name B. Summary. When a vCenter alarm is triggered by an event (rather than a metric threshold or status change), the SMTP notification includes event-specific fields like User Name and Summary that do not appear for other alarm types.

Why each option
When a vCenter alarm is triggered by an event (rather than a metric threshold or status change), the SMTP notification includes event-specific fields like User Name and Summary that do not appear for other alarm types.
User Name is populated from the event object that triggered the alarm, identifying which user account caused the event - this field only exists when the alarm trigger is an event.
Summary contains the human-readable description of the triggering event itself, which is meaningful only in the context of event-based alarms and is not present for metric or status alarms.
Old Status is specific to alarms triggered by a state or metric threshold change, reflecting the prior monitored state before the transition - it is not an event-specific field.
Target identifies the vSphere object the alarm is attached to and is included in all alarm notification types, not exclusively in event-triggered alarms.
