Documentation forServer & Application Monitor
Monitoring your applications and environment is a key capability of SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted (formerly Hybrid Cloud Observability) and is available in the Essentials edition. Server & Application Monitor (SAM) is also available in a standalone module.

NNTP monitor

This SAM component monitor tests the ability of a Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) server to accept incoming connections and respond with the correct code.

This monitor does not currently support polling via SolarWinds Platform Remote Collectors.

Statistic

This component monitor does not compute a statistic.

Field descriptions

Description

A default description of the monitor. To override the default description, add to or replace existing text. Changes are automatically saved. The variable to access this field is ${UserDescription}.

Customize descriptions to specify what will be monitored so related alerts and notifications are more meaningful later.

Enable Component

Determines if the component is enabled. Disabling the component leaves it in the application in a deactivated state not influencing either SolarWinds SAM application availability or status.

Port Number

The port number used for NNTP connections. The default value is 119.

Response Time Threshold

Set the warning or critical threshold conditions based on the response time. The response time is the time in milliseconds it takes SAM to determine that a component is not Down and to retrieve any statistical data. See Set Thresholds.

User Notes

Add notes for easy reference. You can access this field by using the variable, ${UserNotes}.
