Probe Alerts and Domain Alerts

Note: Alerts are only available if the Directory Services feature set is enabled.

Probe Alerts

Probe warnings alerts and failure alerts provides alerts and email notifications for any issues concerning the probe's communication with the Active Directory server. Probe alerts can include:

• The Active Directory server goes offline.
• The domain credential used by Discovery is no longer valid.
• The probe cannot communicate with the domain controller.

Warning: The Discovery probe accumulates domain changes in real time. If the connection between the Discovery probe and a domain is lost for a period of time, the probe has no way to recover those changes. To ensure domain changes are not lost forever, set probe alerts and schedule a recurring full synchronization. If a probe alert is triggered, consider running a full synchronization immediately.

• Computer
• Contact
