Is is possible to monitor a simple port for response (http,ftp,ssh,etc..) with out using SAM? I don't need in-depth info, i just want to see if the port is responding.
Have you tried Using netpath? It may not be the cleanest way to do what you are attempting too, but I believe it may just work out for you. Because with netpath it won't only ping but also drag out a path between your solarwinds server and the device using the port you want. And lets say if something happens the path would show up red or as unknown, which could indicate a potential problem that needs to be reviewed.
I hope this helps.
By the way.. Netpath is part of NPM.
