The port show up again. When the interval is extended to 3 minutes, number of the alert messages becomes less.

You can try disabling the data source and refreshing the page to see if the port shows up.

Other than that, it looks like your timeout needs to be longer. You can also try upgrading to a more recent version that has I/O logging to log the comm traffic for later analysis. Later versions also have better tools for testing your settings; this will help you determine what timeout value you should use.

You also need to install the RXTX files as discribed on the download page. Is this windows or linux? I see it looks like you've put the port path in the name field so I'm assuming this is Linux.

when try to change it and get the message in the attachment.

Where it says Port- there’s nothing in the drop down and it is a required value.
Timeout is set to 2000 and there is 1 retry.

Joel.
