SFTP Monitor

What is the best way to do SFTP monitoring? Is this done the same as an SSH monitor?

 

  • You can use a TCP monitor, no send string, receive string probably varies based on ssh daemon, with openssh you could use "OpenSSH" as a receive string. Beyond that, which just verifies the ssh daemon is listening on the port, I don't know how to make a more thorough monitor

     

  • yes, sftp is just file transfer over ssh. By monitoring, do you mean create a monitor for the sftp pool?
