6.9.1.2. Probe Status
+
Warning —
The probes that have surpassed their WARNING thresholds.
6.9.1.3. Probe Status
+
Unknown —
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
+
Pending —
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
+
OK —
The probes that have run successfully without exception. This is the state desired for all probes.
6.9.1.6. Probe Status
+
All —
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 —
for instructions.
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.
