I have to monitor a non-standand tcp service. We deploy an application listening on port 8001 and I have to send this following commands:

<isomsg> <field id="0" value="0800" /> <field id="3" value="000000" /> <field id="11" value="000001" /> <field id="24" value="999" /> <field id="41" value="29110001" /> <field id="70" value="301" /> </isomsg>

and I expected this answer:

<isomsg direction="outgoing"> <field id="0" value="0810"/> <field id="3" value="000000"/> <field id="11" value="000001"/> <field id="24" value="999"/> <field id="39" value="00"/> <field id="41" value="29110001"/> <field id="60" value="jPOS CABAL ARG"/> <field id="70" value="301"/></isomsg>

With this I colud verify the well funcion of the application.

I couldn´t find how to do it with your software... neither customazing a new service....

You did not receive my answer to your e-mail?
Ok, there is copy :smile:
Current version of HostMonitor checks TCP services using TCP connect function only.
In future versions will be implemented option to execute script (send data and wait for specific reply) like you need. But it will not be implemented very soon, probably in version 4.0
The only way you can implement this test now is to create external program or VBScript/JScript and use External test or Script tests to perform check.
