Estimados buenos días

Por favor su gentil apoyo necesito consultar por puertos levantados en el servidor y poder detectar que puerto esta bloqueado.

Gracias por su gentil apoyo.

Good morning

I need to check for raised ports on the server and be able to detect which port is blocked.

Thank you for your kind support.

Hi&nbsp;[@dsoria](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/68109)

You can use properties of process group and Ip’s from Host entities, Here are a dashboard with variable that you can use.

```javascript
fetch dt.entity.process_group_instance
| expand listenPorts
| filterOut isNull(listenPorts)
| fieldsRename dt.entity.process_group_instance = id
| filter in(entity.name, $process)
| expand dt.entity.host = belongs_to[dt.entity.host]
| filter in(dt.entity.host, $host_id)
| fieldsAdd dt.entity.host.name = entityName(dt.entity.host, type:"dt.entity.host")
| fieldsAdd dt.entity.host.ips = entityAttr(dt.entity.host, "ipAddress")
| fields 
        `Host` = dt.entity.host.name,
        `Host Ips` = dt.entity.host.ips,
        `Process` = entity.name,
        `Process Port` = listenPorts

```

Is it possible to add information about if the connection is “incoming” or “outgoing” as well? And also perhaps the remote/target hosts?

I also was curious about the “outgoing” ports used, as these don’t seem to be available the same way as `listeningPorts` in&nbsp;[@JoseRomero](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/57563)’s answer above.&nbsp; I need to be able to create a report of something like:

| Hostname | Process Name | IP Address | Incoming Port(s) | Outgoing Port(s) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [hostA.example.com](http://hostA.example.com) | Apache Webserver B | 123.123.123.123 | 80, 443 | ???, ???, ??? |
| [hostA.example.com](http://hostA.example.com) | Oracle Database | 213.213.213.213 | 1521 | None |
