C.10.1. RHN Satellite Server::Check Alive
The RHN Satellite Server::Check Alive probe is useful in ensuring the viability of your Monitoring-
enabled Satellite. It reports the following metrics:
• Probe Count — The number of probes configured on the Satellite.
• Percent OK — The percent of probes in an OK state.
• Percent WARNING — The percent of probes in a WARNING state.
• Percent CRITICAL — The percent of probes in a CRITICAL state.
• Percent PENDING — The percent of probes in a PENDING state.
• Percent UNKNOWN — The percent of probes in an UNKNOWN state.
• Recent State Changes — The number of state changes in the last hour (a measure of volatility).
• Imminent Probes — The number of probes scheduled to run in the next 10 minutes (a measure of
scheduler efficiency).
• Execution Time — The maximum, minimum, and average last execution time in seconds.
• Probe Latency — The average difference in seconds between when probes are scheduled to run and
when they actually do run.
• Satellite Latency — The amount of time in seconds since the Satellite last checked in.
If monitoring is critical to your infrastructure, consider setting the probe to run every five minutes,
alert after a single failure, and renotify after 10 minutes to ensure this probe functions optimally.

The RHN Satellite Server::Disk Space probe monitors the free disk space on a Satellite and collects
the following metrics:
• File System Used — The percent of the current filesystem now in use.
• Space Used — The file size used by the current filesystem.
• Space Available — The file size available to the current filesystem.
