Grouping Variables Within Classes?

I have a class called Trigger. within this class, I can perform a variety of functions, the main of which is to monitor a specific condition. In this class I have a bunch of class variables that are used to setup the condition as well as for information purposes after the condition has executed. All the conditions are stored in a database and when I start the program, I create a New Trigger class for each condition and store the variables (name, desc, action to perform once the condition is met, etc.) I was thinking about changing the class to create a Structure called Configuration where I would store all the variables. But then I would have to save the Configuration within the class so it could be used later on if needed correct?

[Code]...

but in looking at this i realized that I am creating a new structure and then creating a new trigger class where I am saving the Configuration structure which essentially seems the same as just using class variables as I was before. I also looked at creating a Configuration Class and a Trigger Class. then from the main class I would create all the Configurations and have a shared Trigger class that monitored all of them instead of having a single Trigger class for each Configuration. Using this method i could create a hash table that kept track of each configuration that was being monitored and stop it if required.

Does either method sound more appropriate over the other. I am just trying to understand when/why to do things a certain way.
