I believe the IP service monitoring just checks to see if the port is open on the server. The HTTP zenpack or others may well do more, but for instance, you'd have to create a command data source to telnet in on port 110 and parse the response.

Hello,

We are evaluating ZenOss and I am wondering how the IPService monitoring works. 
 If we monitor port 110/pop for example, does ZenOss just check that the port 
is open on the server being monitored or does it actually send a pop command 
and check for a valid response?

TIA
