Hi all,

we have a list of host that receives TCP comunication through xxxx to xxxx range port. we need to validate that those ports are always on.

how can we monitor those ports from those hosts and put that on a dashboard tile?

thanks in advance

Hi,

If you have OneAgent installed in target host, you can use [metric scripting integration](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/shortlink/pipe-metric-ingestion).

You can those metrics ingested in data explorer, and to pin them a dashboard.

Best regards

Hi&nbsp;[@MariettaAlmeida](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/59040),

You can use TCP monitorings with this new feature NAM monitoring (via API settings) from 1.296 Saas or managed server:

[Dynatrace SaaS release notes version 1.296 - Dynatrace Docs](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/whats-new/release-notes/saas/sprint-296#improved-maintenance-window-page-time-zone-selection)

[Network availability monitoring - Dynatrace Docs](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/platform-modules/digital-experience/synthetic-monitoring/network-availability-monitors/network-availability-monitoring)

[Create a NAM monitor - Dynatrace Docs](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/platform-modules/digital-experience/synthetic-monitoring/network-availability-monitors/create-a-nam-monitor)

I hope it helps.

Best regards,

Mizső
