Probes
Zebrix Control works with a probe installed directly on your network, with access to all devices to supervise.
This probe is the component that acts as a bridge between your equipment and the Zebrix Control servers.
You can supervise devices directly or through their cloud platforms(e.g., Cisco Control Hub, Poly Lens, etc.).
It can be provided in various forms:
- As a physical appliance.
- As an ISO image to be installed on a machine.
- As a virtual image to be deployed on your virtualization servers.
A probe communicates with your equipments to:
- Collect informations, known as metrics.
- Send them commands.
The communication between the probe and our servers is conducted exclusively via outgoing traffic from your network.
Therefore, there is no need to open incoming ports from our infrastructure.
