Hello,
I have a mikrotik with running web proxy which is setup with a parent proxy.
Also, I have setup netwatch to check the availablity of the parent proxy and to update the configuration of my web proxy to another parent if the current parent is not available.
The problem is that netwatch checks whether the parent proxy's IP address is reachible, but it is not aware whether the port of the parent proxy is open.
In this case even if the device where the parent proxy is running is reachible, but the parent proxy itself is down, netwatch will not do a fail-over to another parent proxy.
Is it there a way I can check whether the port on which is listening the parent proxy is available?
Basically I need to check whether a destination port is open, something similar to "telnet 192.168.1.1 8080".
Thank you.
