This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the TcpPortStatusTest.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. 

• In the TARGETPORTS text box, specify either a comma-separated list of port numbers that are to be tested (eg., 80,7077,1521), or a comma-separated list of port name:port number pairs that are to be tested (eg., smtp:25,mssql:1433). In the latter case, the port name will be displayed in the monitor interface. Alternatively, this parameter can take a comma-separated list of port name:IP address:port number pairs that are to be tested, so as to enable the test to try and connect to Tcp ports on multiple IP addresses. For example, mysql:192.168.0.102:1433,egwebsite:209.15.165.127:80.

• In the TIMEOUT text box, specify the maximum duration (in seconds) for which the test will wait for a response from the server. The default TIMEOUT period is 60 seconds.

• If the ISPASSIVE parameter is set to YES, then it means that the server under consideration is a passive server in a cluster. No alerts will be generated if the server is not running. Measures will be reported as "Not applicable" by the agent if the server is not up.

• Once the above value is provided, click on the Update button to register the changes made.
