While using health explorer, some unit monitors in Server
Management Pack Suite (under Sensors and OpenManage
Services instances) may show green status though the sub-
instance does not exist. This is because unit monitors cannot
have an Unavailable state when the target class is present
and the unit monitor has been executed.

Intrusion unit monitor status under sensors is only for chassis
and does not include health of bezel intrusion.
