Configuring LDAP Monitors
type the name of the account you want to access. For case-sensitive
servers, be sure to use the appropriate case when typing the account
name.
Typically, anonymous FTP servers do not request an account, so
this setting can be omitted. When you connect to an FTP site with a
defined account setting, the account name is sent to the server as the
last step in the login process.
Port – Specifies a standard or nonstandard TCP service port number
or socket for FTP. The standard service port for FTP is 21.
Use Passive Mode – Passive mode is required for connections
through some firewalls. When selected, the FTP monitor will send a
PASV command to communicate with the server in passive mode. A
separate data connection will be initiated for file transfers.
Configuring LDAP Monitors
You can set up Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
monitors to test the connection to an LDAP Server. The monitor
returns the response time for connecting to the LDAP server and can
optionally authenticate.
In the Add Monitor dialog box, when you click LDAP in the
Monitor Types box, settings to configure an LDAP monitor appear
on these dialog box tabs:
General Tab – Contains the options that you can use to create a
LDAP monitor for your monitor group.
Alerts Tab – Displays the options that you can use to define alerts
and associate them with action plans. You can also configure how a
LDAP alert will affect the monitor group’s health. It can result in a
Warning state, a Critical state, or can have no impact on health.
Locations Tab – Specifies the Data Collector Location from which
the LDAP monitor checks the specified metric of a specific host.
