ProbeWatch messages
During normal operations, the probe generates ProbeWatch messages and sends them to the ObjectServer. These messages tell the ObjectServer how the probe is running.
The following table describes the raw ProbeWatch error messages that the probe generates. For information about generic ProbeWatch messages, see the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe and Gateway Guide (SC14-7530).

A shutdown signal was sent to the probe. |
| Disconnecting from system due to Inactivity alarm ... (<host>,<port>) | The probe has disconnected from the device. |
The device was silent for the period specified by the Inactivity property. If you want the probe to time out less frequently, increase this value. |
| Disconnection attempted ... (<host>,<port>) | The probe is attempting to disconnect from the host. |
The probe is shutting down or has lost the connection. |

| Event from (<host>,<port>) did not match the expected format! | The event received by the probe does not match any of the supported event formats. |
The probe has received an event that does not match any of the supported event formats. |
