42| Configuring monitor functions Manual
» Requires an encrypted connection (SSL) – Select this option if you want to encrypt the
data during transmission.
» Login to mailbox – Select this option if you want to physically check whether a mailbox on
your mail server can be logged on to.
» Mail count in folder - Select this option if you want the check to fail/succeed based on
the number of emails present in a folder on the IMAP server. In addition, you must
specify the:
IMAP folder name (e.g. Inbox)
Logical comparison operator: Specify if the count should be „equal to‟, „not equal
to‟, „less than‟, „less than or equal to‟, „greater than‟, „greater than or equal to‟
a specified value.
The value (i.e., the number of emails) to which the retrieved count will be
compared.
When the „Login to mailbox‟ option is selected, alternative credentials will be required
so that this check can remotely log on to the mailbox on your IMAP server. The New
Check Wizard automatically prompts you to configure these alternative credentials
(i.e., the user name and password) 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.
4.2.4 NNTP news server availability
GFI Network Server Monitor can check NNTP news servers by starting a handshake connection on
the remote TCP port (normally port 119). By handshaking, GFI Network Server Monitor can verify
that the remote server's NNTP protocol is online and functional.
