SettingDescription

Host

The IP address or hostname to which the TCP collector connects. If the host is connected the port must also be connected. If left empty, the TCP collector connects to all IP-addresses available in the system.

Note
titleNote!

This setting can be dynamically updated.


Port

The port number from which the data is received. Make sure the port is not used by other applications.

Note
titleNote!

The port can also be dynamically updated while the agent is running. Double-click the agent in the Workflow Editor in monitor mode and modify it. Save the workflow to trigger the agent to use the new port. For further information about updating agent configurations while a workflow is running, see Dynamic Update in L -1.2 Administration and Management in Legacy Desktop.


Allow Multiple Connections

Select this checkbox to allow several TCP/IP connections simultaneously. If cleared, only one connection is allowed.

Number of Connections Allowed

If Allow Multiple Connections is selected, enter a number between 2 and 65000 to specify the number of allowed connections.

Send Response

Select this checkbox to have the collector send a response back to the source. If Allow Multiple Connections is selected, the collector expects a UDR extended with the default TCPIPUDR as a reply. If the checkbox is cleared, it expects a bytearray.

Note
titleNote!

Drag and drop in the opposite direction in the workflow to create a response route between the agents. The TCP/IP agent must be connected to an agent utilizing APL, since responses are created using APL commands.

For a description of the differences between single or multiple connections, see A TCP/IP Example.

Send TCPIPStateUDR

Select this checkbox to track the connection state of the client and have the collection agent send a UDR indicating the status of the client connection each time it changes state. See TCPIPStateUDR in TCP/IP Related UDR Types.

Note
titleNote!

This information is not detected if a client is powered down or if its network cable is removed.
