How do we monitor data in Sockets?- Socket activities are monitored by IP and Socket Monitor tool.
- Socket monitor is designed for programming using IP and Sockets.
- Socket monitor persists and display the socket API calls which are made by the application, like, accept, connect etc.
- The socket will remain open to handle the data streamlined to and from terminals.
- The data is provided to the agent from an external application, running on the same system as the agent.
- The data can be sent by the external application to the agent anytime it wants to.
- For example, a command-line interface can be developed which allows a user to post data to an attribute group when it is run. Another option is a monitored application can be modified to send the updates to the agent.
- The agent does not start or stop the application that is sending data to the socket; this action is controlled by the user.
