The severity values entered in the Self Monitor and Process Monitor tables determine the object status of a monitored object. A specific status is assigned to a monitored object which breaches a specific threshold condition. Severity values entered in the three other monitoring tables do not determine a status for a monitored object, but the importance of the event associated with the monitor (stateless monitoring).
You can enter the following severity values for a monitor:
A severity of none (1) creates a legacy monitor for, which monitors the object without sending state change traps. None is the default severity if you do not specify a value in the objectState column, or if you are upgrading monitors from a previous release. For more information, see Legacy Monitors.
You can use ok (2) as a temporary 'do no monitor' feature because with current state as ok(2) and a monitored attribute severity breach, state change trap is not sent.
The resultant object state, calculated by the agent and recorded as a read-only attribute in the monitor entry, can be one of the following:
If a monitor has a severity of none, the state toggles between up (11) and down (12).
When the agent shuts down, it saves the current state of any monitor. These saved states are used to initialize monitor states during agent startup.
