Managing Probes
Before the monitoring process can begin, you must install at least one AppSpeed probe on one or more hosts.
Each probe can monitor up to three vSwitches. You can install more than one probe on the same host to monitor
more vSwitches.
You initially configure the probe settings to monitor, including the management network, storage device, and
specific vSwitches, as part of the probe installation process. After that, you can add and remove probes as
needed.
You can perform these actions on probes.
