Description: This object indicates the state (not to be confused with severity) of the event and potentially the current status of the functional component that generated the event. The possible states are:

'raise': A raise state identifies an event received as a result of a health-impacting condition, such as a process failure. A subsequent clear state event will follow when the error condition is resolved. A node which generates a 'raise' state event may be impaired and likely requires the attention of an administrator.

'clear': The clear state indicates that the condition which generated a previous raise notification has been resolved. This may occur automatically with fault-tolerant deployments or may be the result of administrator intervention.
