Pulse - Monitoring Tool for JIRA provide provides availability request requests to the server.
You can define:
- the "correct" response time,
- a success service status strategy,
- the timeout.
If the timeout is reached , and you still do NOT have a response, it means that e. g. the server is down.

Below you can find sample an example of the FTP availability and a files check configuration in PULSE - Monitoring Tool for JIRA.
There are a few steps to take test FTP service test.
They include:
- check checking if FTP server is running on specified port,
- estabilish estabilishing a connection with FTP server,
- authorizing correctly authorize,
- count counting files (include including the hidden ones).
There Three tests will be runned three tests run and after one minute there a new test series will be run new test serie. For each test the timeout equals five seconds. If ANY test from all of them (in this case - any from those three tests) will connect correctly and the number of counted files will be higher than eight, our service test result will be set marked as "Success". In addition, we checked the "Collect test history" option which means that all test results will be stored in a database. It It enables a status history analysis. Stored detailed results are downloadable as *.csv a CSV file.
