6.9.1.2. Probe Status
The probes that have surpassed their WARNING thresholds.
6.9.1.3. Probe Status
The probes that cannot collect the metrics needed to determine probe state. Most but not all probes
enter an unknown state when exceeding their timeout period.
6.9.1.4. Probe Status
The probes whose data have not been received by RHN. This state is expected for a probe that has just
been scheduled but has not yet run. If all probes go into a pending state, your monitoring infrastructure
may be failing.
6.9.1.5. Probe Status
The probes that have run successfully without exception. This is the state desired for all probes.
6.9.1.6. Probe Status
All probes scheduled on systems in your account, listed in alphabetical order by the name of system.
6.9.1.7. Current State —
Identifies the selected probe's status and when it last ran, while providing the ability to generate a
report on the probe. Although this page is integral to monitoring, it is found under the Probes tab
within the System Details page since its configuration is specific to the system being monitored.
To view a report of the probe's results, choose a relevant duration using the date fields, select the
metric to be reported upon, and decide whether the results should be shown in a graph, an error log,
or both. Then click Generate report at the bottom of the page.
6.9.2. Notification —
Identifies the contact methods that have been established for your organization. These methods contain
email or pager addresses designated to receive alerts from probes.
These methods are created within the Notification Methods tab of the User Details page. To see this
tab, the user must first be granted the Monitoring Administrator role. Clicking the name of the contact
method opens it for editing. Refer to Section 6.8.2.2 User Details —
6.9.3. Scout Config Push —
Displays the status of your monitoring infrastructure. Anytime you make a change to your infrastruc-
ture, such as adding a probe to a system, you must reconfigure it. Do this by selecting the Satellite's
checkbox and clicking Push Scout Configs. The table on this page identifies the date and time of
requested and completed pushes.
