I'm after that second option - though when I telnet the port I don't get any information back, can the test still be accomplished with this? There are no welcome messages or anything of the sort =/

Is it possible to test a TCP port on a remote machine with the Hobbit server? I have some applications that can't be tested with anything standard (HTTP, SMTP, etc). I'm just looking for a basic acknowledgement that the TCP port is listening on the host being monitored.
Thanks, Josh You could do it at least two ways:
- Have hobbit client on the remote machine check for the listening port in netstat
- Define the port in bb-services.cfg and add the tag for the new service to your bb-hosts.
