Argus - System and Network Monitoring Software

# Test Port

The test port was added in version 3.3

In order to remotely check that Argus is properly running, you can enable the test server on a TCP port

    	test_port:	3074

You should pick a port number over 1024 that is not currently in use on the server argus is running on.

You can then check on it by telneting to the test port:

    	telnet argus.example.com 3074

    	Connected to argus.example.com.
    	Escape character is '^]'.
    	Argus running
    	Connection closed by foreign host.

Or, you can configure a 'Service' monitor on another Argus:

    	Service TCP/Argus {
    		hostname:	argus.example.com
    		port:		3074
    	}
