PRTG can do specific TCP port auto disvocry ?

I would like to monitoring Tomcat using PRTG -Monitor TCP Port 8009 (Ignore Response

I was TCP 8009 Port using a device that monitors and made ??a template. (Create Device => Add Sensor Port 110 => Create Device Template)

And I using that templates to auto-discovery.

As a result, All Device has been added to sensor port 8009 even device that is not open port 8009

I Want to Auto-Discovery port sensor Only 8009 port listening device.

Is there a way? What should I do?

Thank you.

Hello,

I'm afraid in the moment, there is no check made by the Auto-Discovery in such a case if the port is really opened when the sensor is added.

best regards.

Hi Team,

has something changed in the meanwhile?

I would like having PRTG performing a TCP discovery on a list of hosts, creating relevants TCP port sensor for each host.

It should sounds like "create a TCP port sensor for each TCP service running on a device"

Might you help me writing a custom device template?

I know I'm far away from the target, but I was experimenting something like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <devicetemplate id="custom" name="Pippo" priority="1">
    <check id="ping" meta="ping"/>
    
    <create id="_port443" kind="port" requires="ping" displayname="TCP 443">
      <createdata>
        <port>
          443
        </port>
      </createdata>
    </create>
    
       <create id="_port443" kind="port" requires="ping" displayname="TCP 80">
      <createdata>
        <port>
          80
        </port>
      </createdata>
    </create>

  </devicetemplate>

Hi there,

There is still no port check which enforced a variable sensor creation only when a certain port is reachable. Why don't you just create a regular device template including the Port Sensor and apply it to the devices that you want to have the sensors?

Best,
Sebastian
