TCP Port Scan Template

The TCP Port Scan Template enables you to validate a TCP server is available and optionally returns a packet. This template is typically used to notify network administrators when a network server application is down or slow to respond.

How to configure the TCP Port Scan Template:

• From the Menu Bar, select File | New. The Create New Object View displays.
• From the Create New Object View, expand Templates | Network and Application Monitors then select TCP Port Monitor. The New Template Properties View displays.
• The Template Properties view contains 4 tabs.
  • General
  • Options
  • Agent Template
  • Actions

The Options Tab

• Use the Server drop-down to select the target server you would like to monitor.

• Use the TCP Port definitions controls to specify the TCP ports to scan.
• To add a port, click the Add button. A new line is added to the list.
  • Use the Host text box when configuring this template as an Agent-Based Template and you would like the agent device to scan a remote port rather than a local port.
  • Use the Value text box to enter the TCP port to scan.

• • Use the Description text box to enter a friendly TCP port description.
• Use the Delete button to remove the selected line items form the list.
• Use the Clear button to clear the list.
• Use the Up button and Down button to reorder the list.
• Use the Warning and Critical threshold controls to set the timeout trigger thresholds.
