Anyone have an Intermapper probe that monitors the Adobe Flash Media server (RTMP)

I could not find a built in one or any details on the TCP protocol format.

InterMapper doesn't have a probe for Flash/RTMP. Since it's a TCP-based protocol,
I would try the following:
1) You can simply use the Basic TCP probe to test whether the port is open. (This
probe simply creates a connection to the port, and reports a failure if the connection
cannot be established.). This is pretty rudimentary, but give some insight into
go/no-go operation.
2) The Custom TCP probe connects, then sends a string and waits for a certain
response. You can try telnetting to your server on port 1935, and see what result
you get a) when you initially connect, and b) if you hit return or type garbage
and a return. You could then mimic that information in the Custom TCP probe settings.
This is still pretty crude, but would show that the server is responsive.
3) For a (much) better test, it would make sense to create a command-line probe
that runs a program that actually connects to the server, speaks the proper protocol,
then elicits a good response. A quick Google search shows a library at www.RTMPy.org
that may provide a basis for proceeding.
I'd be curious to hear what you discover. Thanks.
