Managed and Unmanaged Resources

You can specify whether to monitor a resource by changing its monitored state. If you change an object configuration to Unmanaged, the PMM processes the request and it sets the value to Unmanaged in the AIM. The current monitor configuration is preserved in the MIB attribute, and the child objects also change to Unmanaged. Traps are generated for the configuration change and the state change for the parent. No traps are generated for the parent object and its children in subsequent polling and recording cycles.

If you select an object and you change its configuration to Managed, the PMM processes the request and it sets the value to Managed in the AIM. The current monitor configuration is preserved in the MIB attribute and the child objects also changes to Managed. A configuration change trap is generated for the parent. The state of the parent object and its children are evaluated in the next polling and recording cycle and state change traps are generated as needed.

Important! The managed or unmanaged status of a resource is different to the managed or unmanaged mode of SystemEDGE. Setting a Computer System to unmanaged enables SystemEDGE maintenance mode, if it is installed on that system.
