Each resource that an agent monitors is called a managed object, and every managed object has a state.
A managed object can represent a physical device, such as a printer or a router, or it can represent an abstraction, such as the combination of hardware and software components that constitute a network connection between two nodes. A managed object can be monitored and, in some cases, controlled with the use of one or more management applications.
CA NSM groups managed objects into classes. A class is a group of managed objects that share a common definition, and therefore, share common structure and behavior. By changing the behavior of a class, you can change the behavior of the managed objects that belong to that class.
The definitions for each agent class are in their individual policy files. For more information about policy files and their syntax, see the guide Inside Systems Management. For more information about a specific class of managed object, see the individual guide, such as Inside Systems Monitoring.
