Generic TCP/IP check
GFI Network Server Monitor can check local or remote server
connections by challenging a specific port. The challenge will involve
connecting to the target computer, sending it a sequence of bytes and
analyzing the information received.
Screenshot 45 - TCP/IP check parameters dialog
A TCP/IP check requires the following parameters:
• Port – Specify the TCP port number of the protocol to be checked,
by default port 80.
• Send command when connected – Enable this flag to send the
specified command as soon as the connection is established.
• Response must include the following string – Enable this flag in
order to check if the response message contains the specified
string.
• Timeout – Number of milliseconds before the function will timeout.
Usually, a connection to the server will be established within 1
second. However, some slow/busy servers need more time.
Recommended value is 7000 milliseconds.
