Legacy Monitors

Existing managers can monitor SystemEDGE attributes and processes without incorporating the object state model. All of the state management columns in the Self Monitor and Process Monitor tables are optional; leave these fields blank if you want the agent to monitor attributes and processes without calculating status information.

Self and process monitors that operate without maintaining and calculating state are legacy monitors. These monitors function as did all monitors previous to SystemEDGE Version 5.0. When you do not enter a severity for a self or process monitor, the monitor inherits a severity of none (1) by default. All monitors with a severity of none (1), whether defined manually or by default, are legacy monitors. They can only have a current state of up or down, and they send legacy threshold traps instead of state change traps.

Note: For more information about the legacy threshold traps, see Self Monitor Traps and Process Monitor Traps.
