FTP and SFTP TCP health check

All,

 

We are using the default TCP health check to check the status of our FTP and SFTP server farms. Can anyone answer if this would use up a FTP/SFTP connection on the FTP/SFTP servers themselves?

 

Name tcp Type TCP Configuration:

 

Interval 5 seconds Up Interval Disabled Time Until Up 0 seconds Timeout 16 seconds Manual Resume No Send String Receive String Receive Disable String Reverse No Transparent No Alias Address * All Addresses Alias Service Port * All Ports

    The default TCP monitor merely establishes a TCP connection on the configured port and then closes the connection right away.

     

    If you want to verify that users are able to actually log into the FTP server you can configure the Send and Receive values.
