The custom entities and entity metrics are declared in a predefined JSON format. The DIF probe takes the JSON input and convert them into the data structures known by Turbonomic, and push them to the server. The DIF probe is a generic Turbonomic SDK probe that performs all the usual supply chain and entity validations, as well as participating in the broader mediation framework to ensure all conflicts are resolved, and consistency is maintained.
