HTTP monitor with HEAD, not GET

We're having this exact same issue. We did tune our TIME_WAIT timers (and as a good measure increased our max ports), but I'd still love to find a way around this if anyone has one.

 

 

For record, the Registry changes for Time_Wait and max ports are (obviously use these at your own risk... I place no warranty on registry suggestions)

 

To add and configure the MaxUserPort parameter:

 

1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).

 

2. Locate the following key in the registry:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

 

3. Right-click on Parameters and select New DWORD Value. Type MaxUserPort in the Name data box, type 65534 (Decimal) in the Value data box, and then click OK.

 

NOTE: The default setting for the MaxUserPort value is 5000 (Decimal).

 

4. Quit Registry Editor.

 

 

To add and configure the TcpTimedWaitDelay parameter:

 

1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).

 

2. Locate the following key in the registry:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

 

3. Right-click on Parameters and select New DWORD Value. Type TcpTimedWaitDelay in the Name data box, type 60 (Decimal) in the Value data box, and then click OK.

 

NOTE: The default setting for the TcpTimedWaitDelay value is 240 (Decimal), which equals four minutes. Never set this value below 30.

 

4. Quit Registry Editor.
