Monitor port 80

Is there any way, without having to have the whole application mon pack, to see if a port 80 connection is responding? We only need to do a port 80 check on one node outside of our network to see if our firewall has stopped processing port 80 connections. -Debbi

I don't know of a way to check specific ports on a host using Orion without having to do some scripting on the remote HTTP server.

You could configure your firewall to send system messages to the Orion syslog system. If you start getting HTTP Denied messages you trip an alert to notify the appropriate people. You can refine your alert to only include HTTP denied messages that also include the IP address of the remote host you want to monitor TCP80 on.

If you're worried about the size of the Syslog DB growing too large you can filter out unrelate messages and have them deleted. Look in the Syslog Manager application on how to this part.

Application Monitor Pack isn't able to monitor a certain port (80). It checks if processes/services are running.
