5.1 Monitoring Objects
General Information
Basic concepts — monitoring objects, templates, and presets — are introduced in Section 1. This section covers the practical steps for creating and configuring monitoring objects.
Before configuring a monitoring object, prepare the following presets:
- Measurement preset — see Section 5.2
- Alarm message preset — see Section 5.3
- Recording preset (if recording is needed) — see Section 5.4
It is recommended to create the required presets in advance, but they can also be configured and assigned after the monitoring object is created — or even directly during its configuration.
When working with monitoring objects, the following actions are performed:
- Create, edit, or delete a monitoring object.
- Specify a data source (e.g., a multicast stream address). Source parameters vary depending on the object type.
- Assign presets: measurement, alarm, and recording.
Monitoring objects are managed from two screens: the Monitoring objects screen and the Monitoring object configuration screen — both described in Section 5.1.2.
The configuration screen contains both common settings (applicable to all object types) and type-specific settings. Configuration details for each object type are described in Sections 5.1.3–5.1.14.
Monitoring Objects Screen
To manage monitoring objects, open the Configuration screen and select Monitoring objects & virtual services.
Figure 76. Monitoring objects management menu
This opens the Monitoring objects screen.
Figure 77. Monitoring objects screen
Object List Columns
The table displays all monitoring objects with the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Enabled/Disabled | Toggle to temporarily disable a monitoring object without deleting it |
| Name | User-defined name of the object |
| Type | Object type (see Table 3 for descriptions) |
| URL/IP address | Stream address — for stream-type objects only; not shown for signals |
| Node | Node running the MultiProbe service for this object (see Table 6) |
| Service ID | Service identifier from the PAT table of the MPEG TS stream, if available |
| Measurement preset | Selected measurement preset (see Section 5.2) |
| Alarm preset | Selected alarm preset (see Section 5.3) |
| Recording preset | Selected recording preset (see Section 5.4) |
| Tags | Assigned tags (see Section 4.5.4) |
Each row has a selection checkbox 
on the left for use with group operations.
Group Operations
Buttons above the table header apply actions to all selected objects:
- Enable — activate monitoring for selected objects.
- Disable — deactivate monitoring. Disabled objects are hidden from the list unless Hidden objects is toggled on.
- Change presets — batch-change presets for selected objects.
- Tags — assign or modify tags for selected objects.
- Delete — permanently remove selected objects.
Note
When enabling, disabling, or deleting monitoring objects, the State Panel on any currently open pages does not update automatically. Refresh the page (F5) to reflect the changes.
Changing Presets in Bulk
Selecting Change presets opens the group preset change window.
Figure 78. Group preset change window
In the Configuration section, choose the presets to apply. The Checked objects section shows the currently selected objects and their existing presets. After selecting new presets, save — the changes will be applied and reflected in the object list.
Managing Tags in Bulk
Select the objects you want to tag, then click Tags. A pop-up window appears showing the tags already assigned to the selected objects, plus a searchable drop-down list for adding new ones. Multiple tags can be selected simultaneously.
- Tags selected from the drop-down appear in the input field and are removed from the available options list.
- Each tag in the input field has a checkbox for individual removal; the ✖ button clears all selected tags at once.
- If the selected objects share some common tags but also have unique ones, common tags are shown in full while unique tags appear as ....
Tag inheritance rules
- Tags assigned to a T2MI object are inherited by its child objects.
- For MPEG TS objects, tags are not propagated to the parent object.
- For HLS/MPEG-DASH objects, tags are assigned to EthernetTransport and propagated to SoftwareStream and Mpeg Service objects.
Creating and Editing Monitoring Objects
To create a new monitoring object:
- Click New object in the upper-right corner.
- Select the object type from the drop-down list.
- Fill in the parameters in the configuration window that opens, then save.
To edit an existing object, select it from the list to open its configuration screen.
Monitoring Object Configuration Window
The configuration window opens when you create a new object or select an existing one for editing. Its appearance varies by object type. The example below shows the configuration window for an MPEG TS service type object.
The window consists of two sections:
- Monitoring object settings — highlighted in red.
- Preset settings — highlighted in green.

Configuration of the MPEG TS Object
The MPEG TS monitoring object monitors MPEG TS transport streams compliant with the ISO 13818–1 specification. Measurement, alarm, and recording presets can be assigned to both the entire stream and to individual services (TV programs) within it. A preset assigned to the entire stream also applies to each service and to PSI/SI.
Tip
If you only need to monitor a specific service within a transport stream, consider using the MPEG TS Service object instead — see Section 5.1.8.
Use the Monitoring objects screen and Monitoring object configuration screen (see Section 5.1.2) to create or edit objects.
Figure 87. MPEG TS Monitoring Object configuration screen
Data Sources and Link Format
Data sources for MPEG TS are specified as URL links. Examples:
- Multicast stream:
udp://@239.100.100.100:12345#interface=10.0.40.68 - DVB-T2 tuner:
dvbt://TBS%206205%20DVB-T%2FT2%20Tuner%200%20IO/8/546/0
To simplify link creation, MultiProbe includes a link generator accessible from the URL field. The generator button is shown in Figure 88; an example of the generator window is shown in Figure 89.
Figure 88. Link generator opening button
The link generator creates syntactically correct links for all MPEG TS source types and automatically inserts the result into the relevant field.
Figure 89. Link generator window — UDP tab
Link Generator — Source Types
The generator includes tabs for the following source types:
| Source | Description |
|---|---|
| UDP | Streaming signal via UDP protocol |
| RTP | Streaming signal via RTP protocol |
| SRT | SRT-standard stream developed by Haivision |
| ASI | MPEG TS from ASI interface card (e.g., Stream Labs MH4). Serial digital interface via coaxial cable — EN 50083–9 |
| DVB-T/T2 | Terrestrial digital TV (EN 300 744 / ETSI EN 302 755). Requires compatible tuner on the node |
| DVB-S/S2 | Satellite digital TV (ETSI EN 302 307). Requires compatible tuner |
| DVB-C/C2 | Cable digital TV (ETSI EN 302 769 / ETSI EN 300 429). Requires compatible tuner |
| ISDB-T | Terrestrial digital TV — ISDB-T standard. Requires compatible tuner |
For UDP and RTP, three stream type variations are available:
- Multicast — one-to-many streaming per RFC 1112; identified by a multicast group IP address and port. IGMP is typically used for group management.
- Source Specific Multicast (SSM) — similar to multicast but with source IP filtering per RFC 4607; only streams from the specified source are accepted.
- Unicast — one-to-one streaming, defined by recipient and source IP addresses.
For RTP objects, you can specify streams with or without redundancy (Primary/Secondary).
Note
Some signal types require compatible interface boards or receivers to be installed on the node.
