What namespaces and classes used in some tests please?

Post by ironcurtain »

Hello,
Some time ago we had some concerns about the reliability of the Ping test, FTP test and also the URL Request and have written our own external C# application to integrate with HostMonitor testing.

I would like to try to understand a little about why our tests have given fewer false alerts and hope that my questions will help with explaining our findings.

I have understood from this forum that HostMonitor is written in C# and uses standard winsock functions for SNMP, Ping, TCP, IMAP, POP3, DNS, Trace, HTTP tests.

Does HostMonitor use these C# namespaces for ping test, please:
using System.Net;
using System.Net.NetworkInformation;

Does HostMonitor use the C# Class System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient for FTP tests?
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;

I hope you don't mind me asking these questions. I am trying to understand why we have been seeing differences in the results for the same tests.

C#? No way. We are using C, C++ and Delphi

Do you use exactly the same settings for external ping tests (retries, timeout)?

Yes, we are using standard winsock functions for SNMP, Ping, TCP, IMAP, POP3, DNS, Trace, HTTP tests. We do not use any C# libraries/classes
