Click on the Options button on the TCP Port Monitor window or select TCP Port>Options from the Monitor menu to set the TCP Port Monitor options.
Specify the number of retries LANsurveyor should use before warning or declaring the TCP port "down" as well as the number of seconds LANsurveyor should wait for a response from the TCP port.
LANsurveyor keeps detailed statistics for every TCP port monitored. Right-click on the cell and select Statistics to view the statistics. Click on the Clear All Statistics button to reset all statistics for all monitored ports.
The Default Options section includes the monitoring rate (in minutes) as well as the alert actions to take when port up, down, or warning conditions are triggered. Alerts are edge-triggered. For example, if a TCP port is not responding after the specified number of retries, LANsurveyor will send the selected alert. No further "down" alert will be sent unless the port becomes available and then fails again.
If you want different monitoring rates and/or alerts for different nodes and ports, use the custom TCP Ports Options dialog.
The Services Monitored tab of the TCP Port Monitoring Options dialog provides a list of applications or servers available for monitoring and allows you to select which are displayed in the columns of the TCP Port Monitoring window. Only checked items will appear on the monitoring window.
Some nodes and/or services may be more important than others or may be monitored by different people. LANsurveyor allows you to override the Default Options for any cell on the TCP Port Monitor window. Once monitoring is enabled in the cell, right-click in the cell, select Options, click Use these options for this service and specify the cell-specific monitoring rate and alerts.
