Wrong type of port, the alert checker you're looking at is checking a physical port.
To check an arbitrary TCP/UDP port you'll want to add it as a check_tcp or check_udp probe, then the alert checker will test that probe's status.

Hi folks,
I have an application running on port 7990.
I would like to create a custom Alert Checker to check if this port is functional.
I have read the documentation here:
https://docs.observium.org/alert_checker/
https://docs.observium.org/alerting_examples/
The "port is operational but functionally down" option looks like the one for me.
But how the heck do I select a specific port of 7990 to be monitored?
Thanks!
