===== Probe Configuration =====

Your **Zebrix Control probe** comes preconfigured to meet most deployment requirements.

For a quick setup, follow the [[en:config:probe:activation|Probe Activation Guide]]. 

If you prefer to manually configure your probe or access its local interface, follow the instructions below.


==== Connecting to Your Probe ====

To access the probe’s local administration interface:

  * Connect a **monitor and keyboard** to the probe if necessary.
  * Log in using the default credentials:

;#;
User: config  
Password: config  
;#;

You will then see the following interface:

⚠️ For security reasons, remote access over the network is disabled by default.


==== System and Probe State ====

{{:fr:config:probe:pasted:20260223-142632.png?400}}
;#;

=== Probe status meanings ===

  * **not registered**: Default state. The probe has not yet sent a registration request.
  * **wait for validation**: The probe has sent a registration request and is awaiting validation.
  * **registered**: The registration request has been approved.
  * **rejected**: The registration request has been denied.
  * **deleted**: The probe has been removed.


==== Probe / Reset ====

This option allows you to **reset the probe’s registration status**.

<note important>
**Warning:**  
Resetting the probe will remove it from your account.

It will no longer be able to monitor your equipment, and you will need to restart the [[fr:config:probe:activation|Probe Activation]] process.

==== Network Configuration ====

This section allows you to view, configure, and test the probe’s network settings.

By default, the probe is configured in **DHCP mode**.  
You may switch to a **static IP configuration** if required.

=== IP Settings ===

  * **IP View** – Displays the current IP configuration and status.
  * **IP set DHCP** – Enables automatic IP assignment via DHCP.
  * **IP set Static** – Configures a static IP address (IP, subnet mask, gateway).
  * **IP set DNS** – Configures DNS servers.

👉 A static IP configuration is recommended when firewall rules require a fixed address.

=== NTP Settings ===

  * **NTP View** – Displays NTP configuration and status.
  * **NTP Configure** – Defines NTP servers.
  * **NTP Timezone** – Configures the timezone.

⚠️ Proper time synchronization is essential for:
  * Log consistency
  * Certificate validation
  * Accurate alert and incident timestamps

=== Connectivity Tests ===

  * **Test Zebrix** – Verifies connectivity to Zebrix servers.
  * **Test DNS** – Tests DNS resolution.
  * **Test Ping** – Tests network connectivity.
  * **Test Trace route** – Analyzes the network path to a destination.

These tools help diagnose firewall, DNS, routing, or internet connectivity issues.


==== Password Change ====

You can change the probe’s local password here.

⚠️ User/password authentication is only available when using a locally connected keyboard.  
Remote login over the network is disabled for security reasons.


==== Reboot and Power Off ====

These options allow you to:

  * **Restart** the probe  
  * **Shut down** the probe safely  


👉 If the probe fails to register, verify in this order:

  1. IP configuration  
  2. DNS resolution  
  3. Connectivity to Zebrix servers  
  4. NTP synchronization
