ipSentry Monitoring Features - Network Latency /
Connectivity

With the basic ipSentry TCP/IP Network monitoring functionality, you
can monitor latency via ICMP/Ping and connectivity to various TCP/IP
servers using a Connect/Send/Expect dialogue test for active
monitoring of web servers, web pages, mail servers, ftp servers, and
other standard and non-standard tcp/ip protocols.
While the basic ping monitor is useful for preliminary connectivity
testing, many routers and firewalls are now disregarding ping
request packets. This leaves you with a requirement to connect
directly to the remote host to validate connectivity.
With this functionality, you can monitor web pages, web servers,
standard TCP ports such as HTTP, FTP, POP3, SMTP, NNTP, and custom
TCP ports for connectivity as well as proper response.
For example, instead of just pinging your web server or simply
connecting to port 80, ipSentry will request the page specified and
evaluate the response to ensure that the expected data is being
received within the timeframe specified.
ipSentry provides pre-configured Send / Expect settings for 16
different standard TCP ports and allows for configuration of custom
ports based on standard or proprietary protocol.
