specified URL. If no URL is specified, the probe will fetch the root document. The probe looks
for a HTTP/1. message from the system, unless you alter that value. Specifying another port
number will override the default port of 80. Unlike most other probes, this probe will return a
CRITICAL status if it cannot contact the system within the timeout period.
This probe supports authentication. Provide a username and password in the appropriate fields
to use this feature. Also, the optional Virtual Host field can be used to monitor a separate
documentation set located on the same physical machine presented as a standalone server. If
your Web server is not configured to use virtual hosts (which is typically the case), you should
leave this field blank. If you do have virtual hosts configured, enter the domain name of the first
host here. Add as many probes as necessary to monitor all virtual hosts on the machine.

The probes in this section may be applied to instances of the Oracle database matching the
versions supported. Oracle probes require the configuration of the database and associations
made by running the following command:
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catalog.sql
In addition, for these probes to function properly, the Oracle user configured in the probe must
have minimum privileges of CONNECT and SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE.
Some Oracle probes are specifically aimed at tuning devices for long-term performance gains,
rather than avoiding outages. Therefore, Red Hat recommends scheduling them to occur less
frequently, between every hour and every two days. This provides a better statistical
