Is Apache ports unstable or my CA Unicentre giving false alerts

[sunhux G <sunhux@xxxxxxxxx>]

I configured my Apache to listen on tcp 83, 446 & 86.

Our monitoring team uses CA Unicentre (awservices) to monitor the

Apache's ports & I often get the alerts below which always recover

within 2-5 minutes.

Our monitoring team asserts that there's nothing wrong with their

monitoring tool (CA) as it polls the port(s) for response once every

30 seconds for 10 times & only if 10 out of 10 polls fail to respond,

then only the alert (like the ones shown below) are sent out.

Question is how do I determine if it's my Apache that's not responding

or it's the CA tool not being configured well or not fine-tuned?  I'm sure

our network has no issue.

Thanks
