Monitors the state of the VMM host
The host state monitor indicates whether a virtualization host that is managed by Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) is in a state which requires administrator attention. If the state is unknown, monitoring has not yet begun for the virtualization host.
A host which is labeled as needs attention by Virtual Machine Manager will cause this monitor to go into a critical state.
In the Virtual Machine Manager console, locate the host in the fabric attention and access the status tab of its properties to effectively troubleshoot the issue requiring attention.
