What options are there to monitor a port using the Broadcom APM Infrastructure Agent (APMIA), or if we need to use another procedure?
Please share a guide that outlines each step and any necessary extensions.
Best bet is to use Sysedge .. And have a script like the following to generate the metric for the port. (This is for Windows) . This is distributed AS-IS with no support.
monitor oid extensionGroup.12.0 11 0x0 60 absolute > 0 '' '' extensionGroup '' '' warning
extension 12 counter readonly C:\Isalive.cmd
Isalive.cmd (This simply echos 1 or 0)
@echo off
SC query W32Time | find "STATE" | find "RUNNING" > NUL 2>&1
rem 0 is success (services is running)
echo %errorlevel%
