...I have a ip monitoring program and I am trying to find the port number. I see it under protocols file, but it says 1. I don't think that is the port though. I checked services and could not find it in there either.

ICMP is a different protocol from TCP and UDP. It should not be in services. On 16 Apr 2002 at 10:08, Michael Garabedian wrote:

So what port would I use if I needed to set up a test for an ip monitor
What exactly are you trying to monitor? On 16 Apr 2002 at 11:05, Michael Garabedian wrote:

Figured it out. There was an option that would ping a host for me. I thought I had to tell it exactly what port and otherwise, but the option was hiding. -----Original Message----- From: Jerry Feldman [mailto:gerry.feldman@compaq.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 1:58 PM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: RE: [SLE] ICMP...

Wouldn't SNMP be a better protocol for monitoring a network? On 16 Apr 2002 at 14:00, Michael Garabedian wrote:

Too much trouble to setup...First I will need to install the protocol on all my servers, set the trap at a different server. All my servers are overburneded as it is right now, so that would just make everything slower than hell. Then I need to get an analyser software. When all I need to know is when the system goes down or when a service in unavailable. So some simple software,to check some services,and then tell me when it can't find them. -----Original Message----- From: Jerry Feldman [mailto:gerry.feldman@compaq.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 2:12 PM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: RE: [SLE] ICMP...

I one time just grabbed the source code to ping. You can also write a light weight client-server system. The client sits there waiting. When it receives a message, it just responds. You can do this with UDP on some unused port. But most of your hosts should respond to icmp messages. It depends how down (or up) you want to go. On 16 Apr 2002 at 14:21, Michael Garabedian wrote:

Let me quote from http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/admin/mon/html/ : ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mon is a general-purpose scheduler and alert management tool used for monitoring service availability and triggering alerts upon failure detection. mon was designed to be open and extensible in the sense that it supports arbitrary monitoring facilities and alert methods via a common interface, all of which are easily implemented with programs in C, Perl, shell, etc., SNMP traps, and special mon traps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon is really simple to set up and requires no special software on a monitored system (unlike netsaint). -Kastus
