Hi,

These are both work in progress features, and documentation doesn’t really exist for them yet.

Probes are just nagios plugins, and are added using the “add probe” menu option on the probes page. It should be fairly self explanatory after that, unless you want to do complex things with plugin commandline arguments.

Alerting on these is fairly simple, you just check against the status.

https://docs.observium.org/entities/#probes

Winservices should be even simpler, they should be autodiscovered on windows devices, and then you can alert on them being up or down.

The metric to test on for winservices is “state”, you likely want to make sure the value is “Running”
