Agentd: determine if port is blocked by firewall or the port is not open on host

[PaXa]

Hello,

There is a need to determine from agentd that remote hostort is
1) Open
2) Closed (host is not listening)
3) Blocked (on the way by Firewall)

All these conditions should be checked using single item. Item 3) is a challenge at the moment. I know this can be determined using exit code of *NIX telnet (as I recall if Connection is refused - port is simply closed and if Timeout - blocked, etc)
I had difficulties with net.tcp.port and net.tcp.service - they simply does not return any value for port that I know is blocked.

I appreciate your feedback. Thanks.

I have a similar problem:

I had difficulties with net.tcp.port and net.tcp.service - they simply does not return any value for port that I know is blocked.

I know that a port is blocked and Zabbix agent (windows) spends about 15 seconds to return the 0 value.

Zabbix server Timeout=10
Zabbix agent Timeout=3

time zabbix_get -sX.X.X.X -k"net.tcp.port[Y.Y.Y.Y,1433]"
0

real 0m23.113s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s
