However, the problem is that it requires that ALL open ports be accepted as parameters. I want to specify the ports to check. For example, if port 8081 is open, it may not always be open, then I get the stupid notification. I don't want to monitor port 8081, I want to monitor 25,80,110,143, etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marc Powell" <marc@ena.com> To: "Nagios-Users Mailinglist" <Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 3:27:09 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring Open Ports On Sep 29, 2009, at 2:51 PM, Matt Baer wrote: > Is there a way that Nagios can monitor open ports, even if there > isn't anything listening on the destination?
