How do I monitor services on non-standard ports?

[james.austin]

Until I have time to look into the possibility of running agents on my firewalls, I need to use simple checks on them. The problem is that I run ssh on a non-standard port on the external interface. I've tried several ways of constructing the checks, but no luck yet. I'm using 1.0.

I'll stop dropping ICMP packets on them until this is solved, but I prefer not to do that long term.

Thanks

i haven't done this, but i assume you could use the "tcp,port" check for this. so for example, if you had ssh running on port 222, the key would be:

tcp,222

hope that helps.

I knew I had to be over analyzing the problem. Between debugging Gentoo init scripts and this I think I fried a circuit. Thanks Gyrate, problem solved!
