is there a template that will allow me to verify connectivity with end point on specific port?
telnet IP-Address Port
You should be able to accomplish this using a TCP Port Monitor component. You'll need to add the endpoint node to Orion(you can use ICMP only if needed), then build an application with the mentioned component and specify port 23 and then assign the app to the endpoint node.
is correct. The TCP Port Monitor in SAM mimics the same behavior as using telnet from the command line to verify a port is listening and reachable. Simply specify the TCP Port you want to monitor in the component monitor settings and assign the template to the node/s and you should be good to go.
Thank you. now my dilemma is that Orion server does not have connectivity open to the IP address that I need to add as ICMP node. is there any way configure it so that my web server (different node/vlan) monitors this IP and port and NOT Orion server?
If the node isn't reachable via ICMP then add the node as an "External Node" which doesn't monitor Node status, but can have application monitors applied to it for the purposes of monitoring application status.
