Hi just wanting to know which protocols and ports must be considered when setting up firewall rules. Are standard protocols and ports used by HostMonitor?
Thanks,
Erik |

Of course HostMonitor use standard ports and protocols because it checks standard servises and servers.
Everything depends on tests those you want to implement. If you want to check web server using URL test, you have to open 80 port. If you want to check SMTP and POP3 server, open 25 and 110 port. If you want to use SNMP test, open 160 port. I can continue this list to infinity.

Those tests all require RPC and RPC requires ports >1024 opened because RPC uses dynamic port mapping. Solutions we have done for monitoring servers on one side of a firewall is to place a monitor box on the one side of the firewall and then set up socket based apps or perl scripts to pass data from one monitor to another through the firewall. |
