6.10.3. 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.
3. As described in
Section 6.4.2.9.5.2, “System Details � Monitoring —
”
, configure the probe and click the
Create Probe
button in the lower right. Repeat this process until
all desired probes have been added.
Note
Sendmail must be configured correctly on your RHN Satellite Server and each client
system to which the Probe Suite is applied must have the
rhnmd
daemon installed
and running. Refer to the
RHN Satellite Server 5.1.1 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.
To remove probes from the Probe Suite:
1. From the Monitoring � Probe Suites page, click on the title of the Probe Suite you wish to alter.
2. Select the
Probes
sub-tab.
3. Check the box next to the probe you wish to remove.
4. Click the
Delete probes from Probe Suites
button.
You may also remove a system from the Probe Suite. There are two ways to accomplish this.
The first method is to detach the system from the Probe Suite. When you do so, the system
still has the same probes assigned to it. However, you now have the ability to configure these
