Services: Request and Return codes.

[prutser]

Hello there,

Thank you in advance for such a nice piece of software! However I have a question about some service checking functionality. Ill try to keep it as general as possible, so that everyone can use the post.

If you create a service for a managed node to check, how do you create the service? Below is a table, and I only know the request and return codes for http. I'm very interested in FTP and user-defined.

Service:        Request code:                Return Code:

http:            server:/page.html            ^HTTP/1\.[01] 200.*
ftp:               ??                                ??
pop3:            ??                                ??
snmp:            ??                                ??
ssh:              ??                                ??
user-defined:  ??                                ??

Thank you for your help,
Best regards,
Peter.

SMTP:
request = e-mail address, response is not used

SSH:
all tabs is ignored

POP3:
request = user:password, response is not used

FTP - don`t realised

Thank you very much.
What do you mean by "Don't realised"? Do you mean that the functionality is not implemented yet?
And what about the "User-defined" functionality?

Thank you very much...

Yes, it was meant "not implemented". User-defined actually is connect-only check - request and response not used, service considered to be ok if TCP connection was established successfully.

Remember not to check your smtp service too often...
It sends an email to the address you enter So if you check it every 5 minutes, your mailbox might overload..
