Once the key is in place and accessible, all probes that require it should allow ssh connections between
the monitoring infrastructure and the monitored system. You may then schedule probes requiring the
monitoring daemon to run against the newly configured systems.
1.2.3. Configuring the mysql package for probes
If your Red Hat Satellite will serve monitoring-entitled client systems against which you wish to run
MySQL probes, you must configure the m ysql package on the Red Hat Satellite. See Appendix A,
Probes for a listing of all available probes.
Subscribe the Satellite to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Base channel and install the m ysql package
either through the up2date, yum or Red Hat Network Hosted.
Once finished, your Satellite may be used to schedule MySQL probes.
1.2.4. Enabling Notifications
In addition to viewing probe status within the Red Hat Network interface, you may be notified whenever a
probe changes state. This is especially important when monitoring mission-critical production systems.
For this reason, Red Hat recommends taking advantage of this feature.
To enable probe notifications within Red Hat Network, you must have identified a mail exchange server
and mail domain during installation of your Red Hat Satellite and configured sendmail to properly handle
incoming mail. See the Installation section of the Red Hat Satellite Installation Guide for details.
1.2.4 .1. Creating Notification Methods
Notifications are sent via a notification method, an email or pager address associated with a specific
Red Hat Network user. Although the address is tied to a particular user account, it may serve multiple
administrators through an alias or mailing list. Each user account can contain multiple notification
methods. T o create a notification method:
1. Log into the Satellite as either a Satellite Administrator or Monitoring Administrator.
