Required
Supported protocols. The options include:
Auto-detect: The system sets the best configuration to monitor the selected application. However, you can edit this configuration if it is not appropriate for your scenario (for example, your firewall policy might block the auto detected configuration). This feature is in Beta.
ICMP: Use ICMP only.
ICMP + TCP Connect: Enables a TCP connection with a 10 second timeout, and closes the connection if it was able to connect. Unsuccessful connections count towards the TCP Connection Failures metric.
Prefer TCP: Falls back to ICMP if TCP is unavailable.
TCP: Use TCP only.
