> PROTOCOLS SUPPORTED

Servers you can monitor with 1stmonitor:

HTTP
Is a protocol used to transfer files from a Web server onto a browser in order to view a Web page that is on the Internet.

Example of the HTTP syntax to enter into the CHECK field:
http://[username:password@]host[:port][/url]

HTTPS
Short for Secure Sockets Layer, many Web sites use the protocol to obtain confidential user information, such as credit card numbers.

Example of the HTTPS syntax to enter into the "check" field:
https://[username:password@]host[:port][/url]

FTP
File Transfer Protocol, or FTP, is a protocol used to upload files from a workstation to a FTP server or download files from a FTP server to a workstation. It is the way that files get transferred from one device to another in order for the files to be available on the Internet.

Example of the FTP syntax to enter into the CHECK field:ftp://host

POP3
Short for Post Office Protocol, a protocol used to retrieve e-mail from a mail server. Most e-mail applications (sometimes called an e-mail client) use the POP3 protocol, although some can use the newer IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol).

Example of the POP3 syntax to enter into the CHECK field:pop3://host

SMTP
Short for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, a protocol for sending e-mail messages between servers. Most e-mail systems that send mail over the Internet use SMTP to send messages from one server to another.

Example of the SMTP syntax to enter into the CHECK field:smtp://host

IMAP
Short for Internet Message Access Protocol, a protocol for retrieving e-mail messages. The latest version, IMAP4, is similar to POP3 but supports some additional features. For Example, with IMAP4, you can search through your e-mail messages for keywords while the messages are still on mail server. You can then choose which messages to download to your machine.

Example of the IMAP syntax to enter into the CHECK field:imap://host

PING
Short for Packet Internet Groper. A utility to determine whether a specific IP address is accessible. It works by sending a packet to the specified address and waiting for a reply. PING is used primarily to troubleshoot Internet connections.

Example of the PING syntax to enter into the CHECK field:ping://host

SSH
Secure Shell is a program to log into another computer over a network, to execute commands in a remote machine, and to move files from one machine to another. It provides strong authentication and secure communications over insecure channels. An attacker who has managed to take over a network can only force SSH to disconnect. He or she cannot play back the traffic or hijack the connection when encryption is enabled.

Example of the SSH syntax to enter into the CHECK field:ssh://host

DNS
Short for Domain Name System (or Service), an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember. The Internet however, is really based on IP addresses. Every time you use a domain name, therefore, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to 198.105.232.4.

Example of the DNS syntax to enter into the CHECK field:dns://host

-----------------------
Note. If you enter host without service prefix we assume by default http.
