Probe monitors the system resources using SNMP default. However, the non-SNMP Linux devices can be monitored using CLI, ie., Telnet/SSH. All the Unix servers template have the resource monitors preconfigured. All you need to do is to disable the SNMP monitors that are associated and select the CLI monitors and associate them to the required devices.
