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.

Table 1. ProbeWatch messages
ProbeWatch message	Description	Triggers/causes
`Connection to event source lost`	The probe lost its connection to the alarm source.	This was caused either by a network issue or because of a subscription timeout in the target server.
`Failed to open stream capture file`	The probe failed to initialize logging into the stream capture file during probe startup.	The probe user does not have the required permission to the file specified by the StreamCaptureFile property.
`Failed to write to stream capture file`	The probe failed to write raw data to the stream capture file.	Insufficient space is available for the file specified by the StreamCaptureFile property.
`Failed to close stream capture file`	The probe failed to close the stream capture file properly during shutdown. The stream capture file may become corrupted.	Another process is accessing and writing to the file specified by the StreamCaptureFile property while the probe is still running.
`Finish resynchronization.`	The probe finished resynchronization.	The probe started with the InitialResync property set to true.
`Start resynchronization.`	The probe started resynchronization to retrieve active alarms.	The probe completed the resynchronization process.
