HTTP Advanced sensor shows the error Connection reset by peer (socket error # 10054). How can I solve this?


Meaning of socket error # 10054

An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote server or application. This normally results if the remote server or application is suddenly stopped, the host is rebooted, the host or remote network interface is disabled, or the remote host uses a hard close. This error may also result if a connection was broken due to "keep alive" activity to detect a failure while one or more operations are in progress. The solution would be to rebuild it as HTTP Advanced sensor and use the compatibility engine as a monitoring engine in the settings.
