The TELNET Monitor connects to the service indicating that it is available for incoming sessions, then disconnects.

Note: Applications can be monitored using the TELNET protocol even if they are not directly supported by a Monitor type (in ipMonitor) provided that they are connection based. Specify the correct TCP/IP Port and ipMonitor can ensure that the service or device is accepting sessions.

This Monitor:

• Considers the specified resource unavailable after a specified number of seconds.
• Persistently tests the resource at specified intervals.
• Disallows testing during a maintenance period.
• Waits for a specified number of failures to occur before starting alerts.
• Switches testing intervals, from "responding correctly" to "not responding correctly". Configurable intervals allow you to test more or less aggressively in the event of failure.
• Stops alerting after a specified number of alerts.
• Has a placeholder for a WinNT Service Name or any other information required by a recovery script.
