[nv-l] testing availability of udp ports

["Francois Le Hir" <flehir@ca.ibm.com>]

Guys,

Does anybody know of a way to test the availability of UDP ports on devices
?
I would need to be able to monitor that the same way than I can do for TCP
ports with nvsniffer.

We have had an outage with a DNS/DHCP server not responding. The daemons
are being monitored with a Tivoli agent but the daemons were up so the
agent didn't see anything...  I need to have an alert generated if the
server is unable to answer queries. I can do a test with nslookup for the
dns but how do I test the DHCP port ?

Thanks,
Salutations, / Regards,
