The Monitoring entitlement is required to view this tab.
The Probe Status page is shown by default when you click Monitoring in the top navigation bar.
The Probe Status page displays the summary count of probes in the various states and provides a
simple interface to find problematic probes quickly. Note that the probe totals in the tabs at the top of the
page may not match the numbers of probes displayed in the tables below. The counts at the top include
probes for all systems in your organization, while the tables display probes on only those systems to
which you have access through the System Group Administrator role. Also, the probe counts displayed
here may be out of sync by as much as one minute.
The following list describes each state and identifies the icons associated with them:
- Critical - T he probe has crossed a CRIT ICAL threshold.
- Warning - The probe has crossed a WARNING threshold.
- Unknown - The probe is not able to accurately report metric or state data.
- Pending - T he probe has been scheduled but has not yet run or is unable to run.
- OK - The probe is running successfully.
The Probe Status page contains tabs for each of the possible states, as well as one that lists all
probes. Each table contains columns indicating probe state, the monitored system, the probes used, and
the date and time the status was last updated.
In these tables, clicking the name of the system takes you to the Monitoring tab of the System
Details page. Clicking the name of the probe takes you to its Current State page. From there, you
may edit the probe, delete it, and generate reports based upon its results.
Monitoring data and probe status information that was previously available only through the web
interface of the Satellite can now be exported as a CSV file. Click on the Download CSV links
throughout the Monitoring pages to download CSV files of relevant information. The exported data may
include, but is not limited to:
Probe status
All probes in a given state (OK, WARN, UNKNOWN, CRITICAL, PENDING)

The probes that have crossed their CRIT ICAL thresholds or reached a critical status by some other
means. For instance, some probes become critical (rather than unknown) when exceeding their timeout
period.
