Checking port availability

SMON sends the HTTP(S) request to the specified address (including the URI and the port if necessary) to check the HTTP status. Choose the "http" or "https" option in the Protocol field to turn on this feature.
The warning message may be sent if the response code is other than 200. Also warning and critical message will be sent if SSL certificate expire soon.
