On an Observed object -- one managed object that UCS Manager's observe/monitoring framework is currently tracking and reporting changes for -- cucsObserveObservedFsmTry is a Gauge32 counter/value representing how many attempts the FSM task has made so far to complete its overall operation. An admin monitors this number because it quantifies the internal progress or configuration of that specific Observed instance's operation, which is otherwise invisible outside UCS Manager's own FSM engine. For example, a rising or stalled value on cucsObserveObservedFsmTry tells the admin whether the Observed instance's task is actively making progress or has stopped moving forward.
