The types of diagnostics that the monitor performs are controlled by values that are stored in the policy/allow_probes property of the svc:/network/diagnostics SMF service. This property determines whether probe packets can be transmitted by diagnostic agents for the purpose of monitoring and reporting network problems. To set or change values for this property, use the svccfg command. Valid values are true and false. By default, the property is set to true. For information, see the svccfg(8) and network-diagnostics(5) man pages.
Example 27 Disabling the Transmission of Diagnostic ProbesThe following example shows how you can disable the transmission of diagnostic probes by setting the policy/allow_probes property of the svc:/network/diagnostics SMF service to false. You must refresh the SMF service after changing the default value for the changes to take effect.
# svccfg -s network/diagnostics setprop policy/allow_probes = boolean: false # svccfg -s network/diagnostics refresh
