Polling TCP Application Services
ProSafe NMS supports customized polling of any TCP application service and simplified polling
of four built-in TCP application services (FTP, SMTP, Web, and Telnet).
Discovery of Four Built-in Services
ProSafe NMS polling agents can automatically
check for the existence of the built-in TCP
services on discovered devices and configures
these services to be polled.
Use the Proto tab of the Config/Discovery-
Polling dialog to enable discovery of the four
built-in services.
TCP Service Polling
1. To enable TCP service polling for a device, right-
click the device object in a Map view and use the
Properties menu then select the Attributes tab.
Select the TCP Services attribute.
2. Use the Value pulldown list to select one of the
available TCP services (*Ftp, *Telnet, *Smtp,
*Web and custom names).
3. To select multiple services for the device, type in
the service names in the Value edit box, separated
by commas. For example: “*Ftp,*Web”.
4. Alternatively, double-click the TCP Services
attribute, or use the “>>” button, to select multiple
services.
