Each instance of the MS_HW_CONNECTOR class represents a connector currently being used by Hardware Sentry in order to discover and monitor the hardware components of the server.
Connectors are continuously monitored to ensure that the underlying technology being used by Hardware Sentry to discover and monitor the hardware is always available.
If something goes wrong with the hardware instrumentation layer (but not with the hardware itself), an alert is raised by the Status parameter of the corresponding MS_HW_CONNECTOR instance. In such case, hardware components that were discovered and monitored through this connector are no longer monitored. Check the TestReport parameter to have more details about the connector failure.
