Generic UDP Service Monitoring

UDP Service is a network service that uses User Datagram Protocol (UDP) to communicate with its clients.

Network Host device driver supports availability/operability monitoring for UDP services of any kind (hence the term "generic" used here). Several UDP services can be configured to be monitored at a particular IP host.

Synchronization Details

Generic UDP service monitoring is very similar to Generic TCP service monitoring except that UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is connectionless. Therefore the monitoring procedure for a particular UDP service is confined to sending-receiving cycle:

  • Data specified in service configuration is sent to the provided port of the IP host.
  • A reply is awaited. Is some data is received within the specified timeout it is included in result data record.

    • The procedure is executed for every configured service/port. A particular service is considered Online if send and receive operations were successful. The whole Generic UDP Service is deemed Online if all configured services/ports are online.
