Hello,
I have a system that is running a rsyslog server on a non standard port and is an appliance. I need to check that the several ports are up and listening, however I can not install a client on the system.
The test would need to be initiated from the xymon server. I assume I need a custom script, can someone point me in the right direction for this. Heres nmap output. Preferably I'd like to check if the port 443, 517,8001, 8002,and 80003 are all open. If any of those are not open, go red.
PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp closed ssh 443/tcp open https 517/tcp open XXXX 8001/tcp open XXXX 8002/tcp open XXXX 8003/tcp open XXXX
Hi,
maybe you want to check out rports.sh: https://github.com/Elfmeterversemmler/XYmonscripts

analysis.cfg has built-in PORT tests. See instructions at https://xymon.sourceforge.io/xymon/help/manpages/man5/analysis.cfg.5.html

I may not fully understand, but I thought that analysis.cfg uses client data sent from the xymon client on the system it is monitoring and analysis.cfg controls what colors etc. that is generated from the client data?

The analysis.cfg file is used to analyze the results sent by the client monitor. Since you do not have a Xymon client on the client side, you need to instead do the port testing from the Xymon server. This would be put in the hosts.cfg file. See https://xymon.sourceforge.io/xymon/help/manpages/man5/hosts.cfg.5.html under the "Simple Network Tests" section. FTP, ssh and https tests are already standardly built-in. Since you want to make sure ssh is closed, use "!ssh" on the hosts.cfg line for the host. For your custom ports, you could use syntax like ftp:571 if the response on port 571 is similar to FTP. You can experiment by using telnet to the ports to see what kind of response they give, such as "telnet host 571".

Hi,
You can add a new section to etc/protocols.cfg like [syslog1] port = 8001
Then just add 'syslog1' to the host in etc/hosts.cfg as an option
