Yes! But also maybe alarms...

...also maybe alarms...

We started out running the alarm server with

org.phoebus.pv.ca/monitor_mask=ALARM

Seemed logical, after all the alarm server only cares about changes in the alarm state.
But that means you won't see the current value of PVs when you list them in the alarm server console, since only changes that come with different alarm states will get through.
Also means that expressions for alarm filters will likely not get the expected behavior since they miss most value updates. OK, alarm filters were a bad idea anyway, should create appropriate alarm trigger PVs on the IOC in the first place. Still, switching monitors from VALUE to ALARM tends to create emails from surprised users.
