The level of 'threat' (also referred to as aggro) that a monster has is usually (in MMORPG terms) a list, organised in descending order, that tracks the players currently in combat with it. The [monster will usually attack the player that is at the top of the threat meter i.e. the player that poses the most 'threat' to the monster.

Damaging and healing done usually increases your character's threat value with the monster.
Tank classes usually aim to generate the most threat and keep the monster hitting him or her.
Nuking a monster that is untanked will often put the nuker at the top of the threat list.
