Every managed object has a state. A state is one of a set of predefined possibilities for the condition of the managed object (for example, up, down, or unknown). Agents collect data about their managed objects and send this data to the managers. Based on the rules defined in the agent configuration set, the agent processes the data and determines the state of each managed object.
An agent can signal a state change either by sending traps to an interested manager or as a result of a manager poll.
If you have CA NSM, a state change appears on the 2D Map of your Real World Interface as a change in icon color. You can drill down through the network, to the computer, to Unispace, to the agent type (CICS, MQSeries, and so on), and to the specific agent instance that experienced the state change. You can right-click the agent icon and select View Agent to view the detailed status information.
