"An ISE probe is the component of ISE Profiling Services that collects endpoint attributes" https://community.cisco.com/t5/security-knowledge-base/ise-profiling-design-guide/ta-p/3739456#toc-hId-1115939359

A:Cisco ISE uses probes to collect endpoint attributes that are used in profiling. These probes are designed to gather information about various aspects of the endpoint, including its operating system, installed applications, and network connection settings. This information is then used to create a profile of the endpoint that can be used to determine the appropriate network access policies and security measures. Additionally, Cisco ISE can also use posture assessment to collect additional information about the endpoint's security posture, such as the presence of antivirus software and the status of operating system patches. Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client and Cisco pxGrid are other technologies that can be used in conjunction with Cisco ISE to provide additional endpoint information and security feature

Each probe uses different collection methods and can gather unique information about endpoints. Consequently, some probes are better suited than others to classify certain device types or may be preferred based on the particular environment.
