What is state monitoring?
A. State monitoring provides an administrator with the ability to understand, at a glance, the instantaneous health of the services and functions of managed servers. State monitoring adds to the advanced event management that MOM already provides and gives a more comprehensive view of the operational health of the managed systems. State monitoring works through a series of health checks that can be run against a server to determine whether all the components and services on that server are present and operating. A green or red status is displayed onscreen to indicate the overall health for a server.
