Hi.
First of all sorry for my english...
I'm using HostMonitor in central office of our company. But i want to know in a real time about changing status of hosts that are in monitornig list. We have in our room big monitor on the wall and for this computer i wrote small utility that popup window and play sound when HostMonitor changing status of hosts.
How it works.
Program started on any computer and listen any port (for default 31337).
In HostMonitor in "Action profiles" i add "Send data to TCP/UDP port" action width ip address of server where my utility started and in field "Init packet (string) to send" i wrote "%TestName% %Status% %Reply% %DATETIME% %PreviousStatusDuration%".
When status of monitoring host is changing HostMonitor send tcp packet to server and my utility flashing popup window with string in recieving packet and playing sound.
Program settings.
Program have two windows: flashing window that visible for default during 10 seconds and log window where list of all actions. You can resize flashing wndow by width and log window by width and height. For right-clicking on log wondow you will see popup menu width "Clear" (clearing logs), "Properties" (program properties) and "Exit". In "Property" you can modify font of both windows, color of "good" and "bad" statuses, transparency of windows, ip address and port where program is started and words for "bad status". Program check recieved string of packet for contants of "bad words". If one of the "bad words" finded, color of text and playing sound will be other.
Using program.
All files of program must be at the root of "C:": "CreepingLineClient.exe", "SoundGood.wav", "SoundBad.wav", "cl.ini". You must run "CreepingLineClient.exe" file for starting program. If some errors will be on starting delete file with settings ("cl.ini").
Program is not finished. But it is works well for me. I'm not a professional programmer. Source is included into archive, you can modify it as you wish.
