Probe Suites allow you to configure and apply one or more probes to a system or systems. Probe
Suites may be configured once and then applied to any number of systems in a batch. This results in
time savings and consistency for Monitoring customers.

and finally apply the Suite to selected systems.

You can either delete or detach probes from the suite. Detaching a probe disassociates the probes
from the suite and converts them to system-specific probes for the specified system. This means that
changes to the detached probes only effect that system. Deleting a probe removes it from the Suite for
all systems.
To remove probes from the Probe Suite:
1. From the Monitoring
2. Select the Probes sub-tab.
