The up.time Linux agent has a built-in daemon option that allows users to run the up.time agent without (x)inetd installed on their server. The daemon allows access to be restricted to a specific hostname belonging to the up.time monitoring station as detailed below.
/opt/uptime-agent/bin/uptmagnt-daemon -p <port> -b <hostname>
An example launch may look like this:
/opt/uptime-agent/bin/uptmagnt-daemon -p 9998 -b my.uptime.host.com
A common error is to include uptimesoftware.com in the bind option. For example, the launch command below incorrectly binds the agent daemon to only accept connections from uptimesoftware.com.
/opt/uptime-agent/bin/uptmagnt-daemon -p 9998 -b uptimesoftware.com
