 FLAME _endpoints_ (VMs created and managed by the SFEMC) and media service _media components_ (processes that realise the execution of the media service) both undergo changes in configuration state during the lifetime of a media service's deployment. Observations of these state changes are recorded in the CLMC under named measurement sets, for example 'endpoint_config' and '\<media component name\>_config' for endpoint and media component labels respectively. In each case, all recordable states of the endpoint/media component are enumerated as columns within the measurement set (see respective state models below for details).
