# WHATPORT(7272)

## NAME

port 7272 — WatchMe Monitoring — Registered in 2005 for WatchMe Monitoring; rare on scans and with no public protocol documentation.

Protocol: TCP/UDP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

IANA registers 7272 on TCP and UDP as watchme-7272, "WatchMe Monitoring 7272", assigned in August 2005 to an individual contact. It is one of a small family of WatchMe registrations in the 727x range. No public specification or current product page for the protocol is findable, and Nmap's open-frequency for it sits at the bottom of its scale. Anything listening on 7272 today should be identified locally rather than assumed to be WatchMe.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** Monitoring agents typically expose host state and sometimes remote actions; without documentation, treat it as internal-only until you know what it is.

## CHECK

```sh
nc -vz TARGET 7272
```
