A Network Services monitor checks the availability of the TCP or UDP port for a network service. It also gathers information about the server application or hardware providing the service.
The following are the default ports for the network services that Barracuda RMM looks for:
Network Service | Default Port |
FTP | 21 |
Telnet | 23 |
SMTP | 25 |
DNS | 53 |
HTTP | 80 |
POP3 | 110 |
NNTP | 119 |
IMAP4 | 143 |
LDAP | 389 |
HTTPS | 443 |
What You Can Do
Use a Network Services monitor to:
- Track the availability of network services.
- Detect activity on the most common services, such as HTTP , DNS or FTP.
- Check the availability of a port.
- Determine the round-trip time of a request from the Onsite Manager server to the service.
- Provide backup reporting for relevant monitoring policies (for example, monitor the SMTP service in addition to using the Microsoft Exchange 2003 monitoring policy).
