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.
I could, but what is the point of this application if Orion servers won't be able to verify the IP/Port connectivity. is there a way to assign this to a node that has connectivity to that IP/Port? is there a powershell ot vb script available that will do this check?
I apologize. I assumed there was some level of connectivity between the SAM server and the application, just that ICMP was not allowed. Such as trying to monitor microsoft.com with an HTTP User Experience Monitor since Microsoft doesn't allow ICMP.
If you truly have no route/path to the host you want to monitor, but there's another server you can use as a Jump Host then it's possible to use a script monitor for this purpose. In fact there are some linux/unix examples of this available on the internet for Nagios that can be used with SAMs Nagios script monitor. The same can be done using PowerShell with Windows.
