How Will My Firewall Affect Monitoring?

If the website or server that you wish to monitor is reachable from the Internet, then you should have nothing to worry about. AlertBot is designed specifically to monitor Internet accessible websites and servers (including the ones that are password protected). These servers include http, https, ftp, pop3, imap, smtp, snmp, and many others.

In general, firewalls are meant to protect server ports that are not meant to be accessible from the Internet. If you would like to monitor one of these private ports, you would have to talk with your network administrator about configuring your firewall appropriately.
