Aggregate State Table

The Aggregate State table does the work necessary to create managed object representations and derive overall object state. The Aggregate State table is a filtered view of SystemEDGE self monitors and process monitors. The table includes the aggregated state information calculated based on the managed object naming and state information supplied by each monitor entry.

The table creates an Aggregate State table entry for all self monitors and process monitors with the same object class, instance, and attribute value (or objects grouped together on a higher level). Self monitors and process monitors exist only as individual entries in the Self Monitor and Process Monitor tables. The Aggregate State table maintains the grouping of these monitors, continuously polls the tables, and sends state change traps when the managed object state changes.

Note: The Aggregate State table also sends traps when a new managed object is created or an existing managed object is deleted.

For more information about how the Aggregate State table maintains managed objects and their states, see the chapter "Concepts." For descriptions of the table columns, see Aggregate State Table.
