ipSentry Alerting Features - Scripted TCP/IP Alert Action
|
|
|

This component can be used as both a monitoring entry as well as an
alerting action which means that TCP accessible devices which accept
telnet or raw TCP connections to perform certain actions can be
access and scripted as an alerting action.
The ipSentry Scripted TCP/IP Network Monitoring enhances the basic
TCP Network monitoring functionality by providing a scripted
approach to send and receive requirements over an established TCP/IP
connection.
An example of this type of use might be communicating via telnet
session to a local device such as a router to perform a soft reset
via system command after login by simply defining the host to which
you will connect, port number, and then the scripted dialogue of
Send/Wait commands.
Once again, this is for the power-user adding a lot more power than
the basic TCP/IP network monitoring functionality in the ipSentry
base application. This add-in expands on the simple Send/Receive
functionality required to monitor most TCP connections by allowing a
full session dialogue. With this add-in, you can script logins to
POP3 servers, send test or heartbeat SMTP messages, login to FTP
servers, or virtually any other clear-text top based dialogue over a
raw TCP connection. We have included sample scripts to get you
started for such items as POP3 login, SMTP test just up to the point
of sending, and an FTP login and directory change.
