TCP port monitoring

Post by costanza2k1 »

hi all, we've started to do port monitoring on TCP ports...is there anyway to set warning and critical thresholds on the ports so they're not just up/down monitors?

What sort of threshold would you imagine? OK for open, Critical for closed, Warning for filtered?

so in this example I have a port check and I want to set up a warning if it's let's say 10 seconds to respond and 30 seconds to respond as critical.

Should be no problem. Just add "-w 10 -c 30" to your arguments.
