Custom APM Component Monitor for TCP Sockets

Question

I would like to have custom component for a monitor which would be able to send a string over a tcp socket and expect a certain value back.

It would be very simliar to the HTTP monitor but instead of a web address just use an IP address and port number.

Could someone please direct me on how to create this myself or as to where I can find such a think in the Content Sharingn area. Most of the items I saw there would not work for what I need.

Thanks.

Hello Jason,
you can't do this directly using any APM monitor but you can try to write VBScript and create Windows Script monitor that would do this.

There are some libraries for VBScript that can work with sockets but most of them are paid. You can also try to use telnet command from script to send and receive data.
