Contains either the fully qualified model hierarchy path for any type of node, or optionally an asset node's associated tagname or hierarchical name.
Setting this property to a non-blank string starts monitoring associated alarms. An adorner appears when required.
Setting this property to a null or empty string stops monitoring associated alarms (if no other adorners are monitoring the same asset), and removes the displayed adorner if it exists.
