Monitoring Wcf net.tcp

Hi guys, Colleagues asked similar questions in the community but there is no answer on the subject. I need a way to monitor the health of a WCF service exposed with netTcp binding. "pinging" the tcp port is not enough, since the port could still be listening while the service is not necessarily working. I was told by support that the only way is to create an external monitor. I want to ask you if have any of you done it before? can you share with me the necessary script? Do you know a simpler way?

 

Thanks a lot for the help. Micha.

    I believe WMI can be used, it's supported on the F5 and within WCF.

     

    Alternatively (and forgive my ignorance of netTcp binding) can you not send a HTTP request of some kind?

    Hi, Thanks for tae answer. I don't want to check the service via HTTP because this is not the service I use. If http down netTcp could be fine, and it's not correct monitor.

     

    Thanks anyway.
