I want to monitor whether I can reach a FTP server on a remote host.
So I have added the following
check host QTCP with address 10.201.56.42
if failed port 21 protocol ftp for 1 cycles then alert
alert [email protected] with mail-format {
subject: FTP Unreachable from Server
} with reminder on 30 cycles
But in the syslog I get
Jul 27 15:45:58 mdsg monit[3132]: FTP error: 220 Connection will close if
idle more than 10 minutes.
Jul 27 15:45:58 mdsg monit[3132]: 'QTCP' failed protocol test [FTP] at INET[
10.201.56.42:21] via TCP
and monit sets the alert.
My understanding is that internally monit should see the 220 message as a
good thing, but it seems to see it
as a failure.
Am I doing something wrong?
Regards,
John
