A.4. General
The probes in this section are designed to monitor basic aspects of your systems. When applying them, ensure their timed thresholds do not exceed the amount of time allotted to the timeout period. Otherwise, the probe returns an UNKNOWN status in all instances of extended latency, thereby nullifying the thresholds.
A.4.1. General::Remote Program
The General::Remote Program probe allows you to run any command or script on your system and obtain a status string. Note that the resulting message will be limited to 1024 bytes.
Requirements - The Red Hat Network monitoring daemon (
rhnmd) must be running on the monitored system to execute this probe.
