• All probes in a given state (OK, WARN, UNKNOWN, CRITICAL, PENDING)
• A Probe Event history
7.10.1.1. Probe Status � Critical —
The probes that have crossed their CRITICAL thresholds or reached a critical status by some other
means. For instance, some probes become critical (rather than unknown) when exceeding their
timeout period.
7.10.1.2. Probe Status � Warning —
The probes that have crossed their WARNING thresholds.
7.10.1.3. 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. This may mean that the timeout period
should be increased, or the connection cannot be established to the monitored system.
It is also possible the probes' configuration parameters are not correct and their data cannot be found.
Finally, this state may indicate that a software error has occurred.
7.10.1.4. 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.
7.10.1.5. Probe Status � OK —
The probes that have run successfully without exception. This is the state desired for all probes.
7.10.1.6. Probe Status � All —
All probes scheduled on systems in your account, listed in alphabetical order by the name of system.
