2. From the drop-down list in the tool bar, select a distribution-architecture.

   The Components list shows Local components applied to the selected distribution.

3. From the Components list select Local/Probes/[category].

4. Do one of the following:

   • From the tool bar, click the Add Component button.

   • From the Components menu, choose Local -> Add.

     The Add Probe window opens.

5. Type a display name for the component that will point to your probe.

   This should not be the complete file name, but it should be a name that is easily understood.

6. Type a free-text description.

7. Check each distribution to which this file should be applied.

8. Select a source machine:

   • If the console has access to the file, select Console.

   • If a remote managed host has access to the file, select Managed Host.
