IMAP probe does connection to IMAP server. After receiving the response fom IMAP server it sends the QUIT command to terminate the connection.
The connection status is saved in in the property imapstatus and the response in the property imaprespmsg.
IMAP Probe Properties
Probe Interval
This is the interval of the IMAP probes. After each probe, the MonitorWare Agent 3.0 IMAP probe process goes "to sleep". This period is specified in milliseconds.
Timeout Interval
The amount of time (in milliseconds) the remote system is expected to answer in. If no response is received within this period, the IMAP probe fails and an event is generated. The default value of 1000 milliseconds is a proper value for most well connected networks. If the IMAP probe runs against a heavily loaded system and/or slow network link, the amount must be adjusted accordingly.
Also generate an event if IMAP Probe was successful
When checked, an event is generated every time. If unchecked, it is generated only when the IMAP probe fails. The most common option is to leave it unchecked to catch events upon a failed IMAP probe.
IMAP Server
Either the IP address or resolvable host name of the IMAP server, the IMAP probe is to be run against. You can either use an IPv4, an IPv6 Address or a Hostname that resolves to an IPv4 or IPv6 Address. Please note that specifying a host name can cause the IMAP probe to fail if DNS name resolution fails (for example due to a failing DNS server). To avoid this, specify an IP address.
Port
This port is to be probed. Please see your server's reference for the actual value to use. For example, mail servers typically listen to port 25 and web servers to 80.
Syslog Facility
The Syslog facility to be assigned to events created by this service. Most useful if the message is to forward to a Syslog server.
Syslog Priority
The Syslog priority to be assigned to events created by this service. Most useful if the message is to forward to a Syslog server.
Resource ID
The Resource ID to be assigned to events created by this service. Most useful if the message is to forward to a Syslog server.
Syslog Tag Value
The Syslog tag value to be assigned to events created by this service. Most useful if the message is to forward to a Syslog server.
