Monitors TCP endpoint availability and response time.
Following charts are drawn per host:
-
Latency ms
- Time required to connect to a TCP port. Displays latency in 0.1 ms resolution. If the connection failed, the value is missing.
-
Status boolean
- Connection successful
- Could not create socket: possible DNS problems
- Connection refused: port not listening or blocked
- Connection timed out: host or port unreachable
Edit the python.d/portcheck.conf
configuration file using edit-config
from the Netdata config
directory, which is typically at /etc/netdata
.
cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
sudo ./edit-config python.d/portcheck.conf
server:
host: 'dns or ip' # required
port: 22 # required
timeout: 1 # optional
update_every: 1 # optional
- The error chart is intended for alarms, badges or for access via API.
- A system/service/firewall might block Netdata's access if a portscan or similar is detected.
- Currently, the accuracy of the latency is low and should be used as reference only.
