Probe Types
The Probe Types section lists the monitoring integration technologies available in XAUTOMATA. Each probe type defines how a monitoring agent collects data — for example a system monitoring agent, a network probe, or a cloud integration.
Info
Probe types are reference configurations managed by the XAUTOMATA delivery team. This section is primarily informational — you will not normally create or delete probe types from the interface.
Opening the Probe Types Section
From the main navigation menu, go to Administration → Probe Types.
The interface opens with a table listing all available probe types.
