Propagate Probe Settings: Copy Probes, Paste Probes

Whenever you have hosts with common attributes, you can save time by configuring probe settings for one host and then copying and pasting those settings to other hosts.

A key advantage to using the probe copy/paste feature is the ability to propagate the probe schedules to multiple hosts. In addition, you can explicitly select the probes you want to activate.

Note:

You only can copy/paste probes that are within the same Domain. This mainly impacts Managed Services Providers with multi-domain environments. Use the Advanced Search function to list probes within a specific Domain.

Example of probe copy / paste
  1. Search for all Linux hosts.

  2. Configure the probes for one of the hosts in your Linux list and click Copy Probes.

  3. Finally, select the remaining Linux hosts and click Paste Probes.

  • The icons of configured Probes will be highlighted in the Paste Probes window; however, you must explicitly check those probes to copy the probe schedules and to activate the probes. Use the Select Active Probes button to select active probes.

  • By default, the probe checkboxes will be unchecked, enabling you to explicitly select the probes that you want to paste. Or, click Select All to turn on all the probes for the selected host.
