Thanks Jeremy, Yes, that works. I interpreted PORT as looking at either LOCAL or REMOTE.
PORT LOCAL=%[.:]11001 REMOTE=%172\.28\.104\.66:.[green] local=%[.:]11001 remote=%172\.28\.104\.66:. : (found 2, req. 1 or more)

Hi, I?ve got an application that has a specific port open 11001, that multiple connections, most looped back on itself.
However, we have another server (that is another groups machine, and isn?t monitored by Xymon), that connects to this port.An interesting use case.
Reading the analysis.cfg man page, it looks like criteria is either local or remote, not both.I'm not sure I read it the same way. The format is "PORT criteria [MIN=mincount] ...etc" and what you're wanting to do is specify "criteria". The example in the man page for usage of "TEXT=" shows:
PORT LOCAL=%[.:]22$ STATE=LISTEN "TEXT=SSH listener"So this is giving two criteria: LOCAL and STATE. This implies that the format is really "PORT criteria [...criteria] [MIN=mincount] ...etc" and thus you can chain multiple criteria. In your use case I would expect you to be able to use something like:
PORT LOCAL=%[.:]10001 REMOTE=172.28.104.66:* STATE=ESTABLISHED
Not sure if the wildcard is valid for REMOTE port number; perhaps use a regex here as well:
PORT LOCAL=%[.:]10001 REMOTE=%172\.28\.104\.66:.* STATE=ESTABLISHED
The analysis.cfg file distributed with the source code specifies this format:
PORT [LOCAL=addr] [EXLOCAL=addr] [REMOTE=addr] [EXREMOTE=addr] [STATE=state] [EXSTATE=state] [MIN=mincount] [MAX=maxcount] [COLOR=color] [TRACK=id] [TEXT=displaytext]So I can see no problem specifying a local port and a remote IP address as you seem to require.
Is there a way to monitor this situation?netstat -ant |grep 11001
