NNTP service

The NNTP service checks the status of the NNTP process on the network device. NNTP is a request-reply protocol that is similar in style to the SMTP or FTP. It provides a network news transport service and is the standard for the Internet exchange of Usenet messages.

N-able N-central can determine the up or down status of the NNTP service. The NNTP service does not use the Warning state.

N-able N-central averages the availability of the NNTP service over the scan interval. It compares the availability of the NNTP service to the threshold to determine the status.

Service Type	TCP
Instances on a Device	1
Device Class	Server - Generic, Workstation - Generic, Other, Printer, Scanner/Camera, Switch/Router, Laptop - Windows, Server - Windows, and Workstation - Windows
Monitored By	Windows probe, N-able N-central server
Scan Interval	5 minutes
Time Out Value	30 seconds
Port Number	119
Validation String	The response you expect to receive from the queried port. If the validation string that you specify is not returned by the port being queried, the service will transition to a Failed state. The default validation string is 200.
