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.

Subject: [Observium] How to create Alert Checker for a specific port?

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!
