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 error messages, see the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe and Gateway Guide (SC14-7608).
