Monitor services, servers and applications using a variety of protocols

Ping

Ping monitoring verifies connectivity by sending packets to remote hosts and receiving responses.

Requests are sent and received via ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) echo request packets and echo replies.

Ping validates connectivity, verifies IP addresses, and can be used to measure response time.

Anturis supports IPv6, the most recent Internet Protocol.

Ping can be used to access IPv6 configurations.

Simple internet Management Protocol (SNMP) enables communication between internet devices.

Many varied devices are supported: routers, printers, servers, workstations, switches, and more.

SNMP standards are defined by the Internet Architecture Board.

SNMP includes a internet management database that contains rig parameters.

Monitoring can be configured to alert specified parties at the first sign of trouble.

Monitoring can also verify that response times are within acceptable parameters.

Testing IMAP ports at regular intervals and measuring response times help ensure email availability and acceptable execution.

Outgoing email needs monitoring too.

Monitoring allows you to test SMTP requests at regular intervals to ensure availability.

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) allows the exchange of data between hosts.

TCP utilizes ports, and availability and response times can be monitored by sending requests to a specific port.

TCP tracking can evaluate the performance of a variety of critical services.

Secure Shell, or SSH, provides security on insecure networks.

SSH facilitates the performance of tasks on remote servers.

Correct file transfers are essential for everything from ecommerce to the proper display of web pages.

Scheduling FTP requests and tracking performance verifies that FTP is providing the expected level of service.
