Create 'IBM Support page' with list of Probes and latest supported version

Idea is to have a IBM Support Page with the list of most relevant / used probes (MessageBus, Tivoli EIF, SNMP, Ping, Transport Module, Socket Java) and the version of latest release for each one.

I was trying to identify the latest versions of some probes to download and upgrade in my environment, but it became a bit challenging.

I assume most common probes are MessageBus, Tivoli EIF, SNMP and Ping. I did some search on internet but could not identify the latest version of each. Only someone with Passport Advantage access can check, and even in Passport Advantage it can be confusing.

I could not find any support page which shows the list of Netcool probes and the corresponding latest package to be downloaded. Software Product Compatibility Report does not have this info either.
