poll using a tcp port number

i have a device i can only monitor/poll using tcp port 10080 and i dont see that option when i create a new node.
Is this possible?

thanks in advance

Do you mean that snmp is listening on port 10080 or rather that the device uses that port for its own type of communication?

If it's snmp, then yes there is an SNMP port number in the edit node screen.

If you mean that the device listens on that port for other purposes, but doesn't do icmp or snmp, then you just have to set the node to external (no status). Then you need SAM to monitor tcp port 10080, I don't think NPM alone can do that. Once you get to that point then you can mess around with all of the extended status settings to make the node appear up/down based on getting a response from that tcp port.

as @brscott stated you could do this with SAM another option in NPM would be to monitor it with NPM using netpath.

If it's an API that's listening on tcp port 10080, and assuming it has a valid certificate provided by a real CA then you could use SAM's new API poller perhaps.

All very good suggestions above though... I personally use NetPath all the time.
