| Setting | Description | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Host | The IP address or hostname to which the TCP collector will bind. If the host is bound the port must also be bound. If left empty TCP collector binds to all IP addresses available on the system.
| |||||
Port | The port number from which the data is received. Make sure the port is not used by other applications.
| |||||
Allow Multiple Connections | If enabled, several TCP/IP connections are allowed simultaneously. If disabled, only one at a time is allowed. | |||||
Number of Connections Allowed | If Allow Multiple Connections is enabled, the maximum number of simultaneous connections is specified as a number between 2 and 65000. | |||||
Send Response | If enabled, the collector will be able to send a response back to the source. If Allow Multiple Connections is enabled, the collector expects a UDR extended with the default TCPIPUDR as reply. If disabled, it expects a bytearray.
For a description of the differences between a single- and a multiple connection setup, see A TCP/IP Example . | |||||
| Send TCPIPStateUDR | If enabled, you can track the connection state of the client. When this option is selected the collection agent sends a udr indicating the status of the client connection each time it changes state. See TCPIPStateUDR in TCP/IP Related UDR Types.
