The guest probe feature provides the ability to monitor the vitality of guests that run on top of the vCPE hypervisor. You can monitor each guest by configuring an SNMP, an HTTP, an HTTPS or a ping probe to check for expected responses at a target IP address. The probe runs at a configurable interval and can take action on the associated guest after a configurable number of consecutive failures.

Multiple independent probes are supported, each with a single type of SNMP, HTTP, HTTPS or ping. You can separately configure the failure action, interval, retries, and guest start-up interval.
