SFTP Monitoring

Can an SFTP port be monitored with the full handshake? Right now it looks like our F5 is just completing a port check (similar to a telnet to the port) that is causing an error within the SFTP server...

You can also consider using public/private key authentication and run sftp command in a monitor.

 

 

As what Aaron has mentioned, you would need additional module (eg. Net:SFTP for perl, etc) to pass the password to sftp. I personally wouldn't recommend this one because when you upgrade the box you'll need to remember to install the module as well.
