Can I monitor custom port?

Is it possible to create a custom port monitor?

Q: Looks like I can only monitor using your built-in monitoring types. Is there a way to monitor a port of my choice?

A: You can use the generic “TCP” or “UDP” monitor types to check services listening on any custom port. Just specify required port number in monitor parameters.

Please do not forget to open corresponding TCP/UDP port for connection on target device.
