Data Flow Probes and Probe Clusters

The Data Flow Probe is the main component responsible for requesting tasks from the server, scheduling and executing discovery and integration tasks, and sending the results back to the UCMDB Server. You define a range of network addresses for a specific, installed Data Flow Probe. Each Data Flow Probe is identified by its name, chosen during the Data Flow Probe installation process.

A probe cluster is a logical container for a number of Data Flow Probes. You define a network range for a cluster. The cluster is responsible for calculating how to distribute the IPs in its network range to ensure a maximum balance of its IPs among its Probes.
