Hi,

I would like to add some simple custom checks; most of them check if a port
is being listened on a host.

Should I do that as a custom script on client, or on the server?

thanks in advance,
Thanh

That functionality is built in.  No need for a custom test.  Check the help pages for analysis.cfg.
