My thoughts... From a slightly different view, since I have a programming
background.

Folks:
I'd like to ask a few more questions re: multiple probes per icon. You can
respond to the list, or directly to me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks.

--------------------------------------------
1) Would you have a use for multiple probes in the same icon? Why is this
feature important to you?
Yes, but not the way you are trying to implement it. I usually
just write a custom probe which monitors everything I need, selectively
turning on/off probes needed via probe variables. (This is why I'm
constantly complaining about the lack of ability custom commandline/http
probes have vs. SNMP probes (i.e. ability to have networks off of the
device, and having a dynamic (non-DNS/sysName(snmp)) label).
2) What probes might you put together into a single icon? How many
different
combinations of probes might you create? (We'd love to have some concrete
examples.)
Endless amounts. Interface traffic, CPU usage, number of active
connections, HTTP service running/content checker, FTP service, DHCP pool
size/remaining ip space, HD space left, SQL info, etc.. etc...
3) For your examples, would all the probes refer to the same IP
address/DNS
name, or would certain probes test one address, while others would test a
different address?
Mostly the same IP. But I can see other services running on their
own IP even on the same physical box.
4) For your examples, would all the probes be executed at the same poll
interval, or would you want certain probes to have their own poll interval?
Same interval.
5) For your examples, would one set of notifiers apply to the entire
collection,
or would you want certain probes to have their own set of notifiers?
In our environment, it would be the entire collection, as one
person usually maintains that one device overall.
