what does the term mean Alarming / logging in the metrics reference of MP MS SQL Server

Hello

In the documentation of the Management Pack MS SQL Server (https://docs.microfocus.com/doc/MP_for_Microsoft_SQL_Server/2023.05/MetricsDef1) there are for each metric a item Alarming / Logging.

For each metric the value is Alarming, Logging or Alarming / Logging.
Can anyone tell me what this means ?
Regards
What do you want to do ?
