Netperf Server List Verified Direct

A verified server must pass the following five checks:

Before running Netperf, ensure the server port is reachable. Use nc (netcat):

nc -zv <server_ip> 12865

Expected output: Connection to <server_ip> port 12865 [tcp/*] succeeded! netperf server list verified

nc -zv $SERVER_IP $PORT -w $TIMEOUT if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "FAIL: netserver not listening on $PORT" exit 1 fi

Configure the Prometheus Blackbox exporter to probe TCP connects and Netperf responses: A verified server must pass the following five

modules:
  netperf_verify:
    prober: tcp
    timeout: 5s
    tcp:
      query_response:
        - send: "VER\n"
          expect: "Netperf"

Then set up alerts for any server that fails verification for more than 1 minute.

For the most accurate network engineering data, relying on public "verified" lists is not recommended because you cannot control the server's load or bandwidth cap. Then set up alerts for any server that

To get truly verified results:

This method guarantees the server is verified (because you set it up) and eliminates the bottleneck of a public server being overloaded by other users.
