How can i find which services are running in server farm?

[Majid Jalinousi]

Hi,

There is a network with tens of servers running different applications with different ports.

I want to know is there any way to find all of the services are running over the network effectively? Is there any application for it?

Thanks in advance,

You can use nmap.

nmola, as Charles suggested, can scan the hosts and tell you which tcp and udp ports are open.

It won't necessarily tell you which are actually passing traffic and in what proportions. For that you would need something like netflow running on the gateway router or L3 switch SVI. Which device performs that function will affect the ability to collect Netflow data.

You will need a Netflow reporting server to collate and visualize the data. there are free trials available for most of the popular ones (Solarwinds, ManageEngines, Plixer products etc.)
