Notification filters cannot be deleted. However, a filter may be canceled by setting the end date to
some time in the past. (Note that the end date must be equal to or later than the start date, or the
change fails.) Another method is to select a set of filters from the Active page and click the Expire
Notification Filters button in the lower right. These filters are then canceled and appears in the
Expired Filters tab.

this allows an organization to recycle useful filters as needed and provides a historical record for
troubleshooting.

7.10.3. Probe Suites

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.
To create and apply a Probe Suite, first create an empty Probe Suite, then configure member probes,
and finally apply the Suite to selected systems.
1. From the Monitoring Probe Suites page, select the create probe suite link. Enter an easily
distinguishable name for the Probe Suite. You may also choose to add a brief description of the
Suite. Click the Create Probe Suite button to continue.
2. Add and configure the probes that comprise the Suite. Click the create new probe link in the
upper right.

Note
Sendmail must be configured correctly on your RHN Satellite and each client system
to which the Probe Suite is applied must have the rhnmd daemon installed and
running. Refer to the RHN Satellite 5.2.0 Installation Guide for additional information.
4. Add the systems to which the Probe Suite applies. Click the add systems to probe suite link in
the upper right of the screen to continue.
5. The next page displays a list of all systems with Monitoring entitlements. Check the box to the left
of the system(s) to which you wish to apply the Probe Suite, select the monitoring scout you wish
to use, and click the Add systems to probe suite button to complete the creation of the Probe
Suite.
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.
