If you have added Monitors and not associated them with a Business Service, you can do this manually anytime. For information on associating a Monitor with a Business Service, refer to Associating Monitor with Business Service topic. However, if you are configuring a MSP Probe, it is mandatory to associate the Monitor to the appropriate Customer / Site.
