Computer field in the check properties. If required, specify an
alternative target or use the ‘Select’ button to choose the required
POP3/IMAP server from the list of active servers on you network.
NOTE: When using %CHECK_TARGET%, make sure that you
specify the correct Target Computer details (i.e., the name/IP of your
POP3/IMAP server) in the check properties > General tab. Otherwise
the check will fail since it will not know which target to query.
• Port – Specify the TCP port through which the connection will be
established. By default this parameter is set according to the value
selected in the ‘Type’ field (i.e., 995 if POP3 is selected, 993 if
IMAP is selected in the ‘Type’ field). However, you can still specify
other port numbers by inputting them directly in the provided field.
• Timeout – Specify the connection timeout value. This value
defines the time interval required for a connection to take place. If
the connection is not established within the specified time period, a
timed out will occur and an error is generated.
• This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL) – Select this
option if you want to encrypted the transmission (i.e. establish a
secure session by electronically authenticating each end of an
encrypted transmission).
• Use credentials set in the folder/check – Select this option to use
the authentication details specified in the check properties >
‘Logon Credentials’ tab.
• Use the following credentials – Select this option to specify
additional credentials (i.e. User name and password) for
authentication.
NOTE: The New Check wizard automatically prompts you to configure
alternative credentials during the creation of this check. After the
check has been created, you can make changes to alternative
credentials from the check properties dialog > ‘Logon Credentials’ tab.
When all the required details have been specified, click on ‘OK’ to
save and return to the Email Route check properties dialog.
SNMP monitoring checks
Generic SNMP function
GFI Network Server Monitor can check local or remote server
connections by challenging a specific port. GFI Network Server
Monitor carries out this function by connecting to the target computer,
send it a sequence of bytes and analyze the response received.
