<![CDATA[Network Service vs ServiceCheck.SMTP]]>Hi all!

I have to monitor an SMTP server and i'd like to have some information about Network Service and ServiceCheck.SMTP.

I'm able to monitor the SMTP using the ServiceCheck.SMTP, but i'd like to know how use the Network Service for monitoring an SMTP. What I have to use as field "Request" and "Response"?

I have read this https://www.netxms.org/forum/configuration/web-site-monitoring/ and i have understand that ServiceCheck is used when the node monitored is not present as Node on Netxms and Network Service is used otherwise, but I like to know another thing:
another difference beetwen ServiceCheck.SMTP and Network Service is that the first is managed by netxms agent and the second in handled by Netxms server?

Thank you for the help, this community and this product are great!

for monitoring network service object server just reads ServiceCheck.* parameters from appropriate node, so basically there are no difference in monitoring method, only in result presentation. For SMTP check you should enter valid email address in request field, response is ignored. Checker will try to send email to that address.

Best regards,
Victor
