TCP test no reply

[fve]

Hi

Is there any restriction on the port number? Must the port be a known one to the system before a test.

I use just made a simple test with cmd window:
telnet x.x.x.x 6500 the status is a reply.

Then i made a HM TCP test at the same port 6500 same ip. But it report no answer.

Any suggest?

There is no restrictions in HostMonitor.
May be you have installed some real-time antivirus monitor or personal firewall that passes requests from some applications and rejects another?

"Alert when ... " allows you to setup additional check.
Quote from the manual

Alert when
To check the reply from the server, mark this option and choose one of the conditions to consider result of the test as "Bad":
- no reply
HostMonitor will set "No answer" status when no reply from the server received and set test status to "Host is alive" when any reply received
- any reply
HostMonitor will set "Ok" status when no reply from the server received and set test status to "Bad" when any reply received
- reply contains
HostMonitor will set "Bad" status when reply from the server contains specified string (defined in "Compare with" field). If reply doesn't contain the specified string, HostMonitor will set "Ok" status. The program sets status to "No answer" when no reply received.
- reply doesn't contain
HostMonitor will set "Ok" status when reply from the server contains specified string (defined in "Compare with" field). If reply doesn't contain the specified string, HostMonitor will set "Bad" status. The program sets status to "No answer" when no reply received.
- reply equal to
HostMonitor will set "Bad" status when reply from the server equal to specified string (defined in "Compare with" field). If reply doesn't equal to the specified string, HostMonitor will set "Ok" status. The program sets status to "No answer" when no reply received.
- reply not equal to
HostMonitor will set "Ok" status when reply from the server equal to specified string (defined in "Compare with" field). If reply doesn't equal to the specified string, HostMonitor will set "Bad" status. The program sets status to "No answer" when no reply received.

Confused because on other test i mark this field and that test run without problem...

It depends on service that you want to monitor. Some services send some data right after connect, others wait for request.
If you are not sure how service works, do not use this option.
