System Center Operations Manager Health Explorer Context

I’ve been wondering for a while why the Health Explorer doesn’t always display the context for a state change. I found one recent link through both Bing and Google that explains what’s going on: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/systemcenteressentials/thread/df725076-e307-4d63-9be9-5d875c6924b5/.

Basically, at Entity level if there are multiple sources for state change information then the UI doesn’t know how to represent that information so it just says “No context was available for this state change event” and it displays a bunch of state changes with no text… something like this:

What you need to do is drill down into Availability/Configuration/Performance etc and as you do you’ll get the state change context appearing.
