Also, for each monitor target, the Equipment Manager that the target is associated with has a
Device Management State, and this data is copied over into an attribute of the monitor target
itself. Only targets whose Device Management State is Normal will be deployed. For example, if a
monitor target is an interface of a device in inventory whose Management State is
Decommissioned, then this target will not be deployed. As long as the Management State is
something other than Normal, this target will never be deployed and OpenManage Network
Manager will never poll the device, even if the target is active. See
Create a Monitor Target Report
on page 396 for more information.
