Eval version stops sending emails but popup windows ok

[gwalkey]

Have about 50 pings scheduled for every 30 seconds.
the tests complete, but no actions are triggered.

Is this normal behavior?
It was working fine for about a week.

NO other actions seem to work other than popup windows..

thanks

I will try Reverse alert

I just created a new action for SMTP email and it started to work again...

[gwalkey]

then the email actions failed again...

ho hum

What exactly means "failed"? What error do you see in the log?

which log, there are test logs, but no action logs.

failed means I get no email...
the SMTP Options are also set to display a window when the SMTP action is triggered. No window. Again.....popups as an action work everytime.

Last entry in system log was Monitor Started
Quick Log shows Event Time, Test Status, Reply, Test Method
with the test,

IN other words you dont have a log of your actions.
And how long/deep is the SMTP queue?
What if i get all monitors go down and they all use SMTP.
I got hundreds of texts (#@smsprovider.com) while testing.

again, the problem remains.

If the log action is popup or sound actions = ok
SMTP fails....everytime

i read that article.

How many times can I create a new action and choose SMTP
it works for a while then quits....

NOT cool

For instance, I create a ping monitor to 127.0.0.0
fails everytime

action = smtp with working in-house exchange server

event 1(ping to above) = i get the text

event 2 (30 seconds later) = no text



the timer is 30 seconds
I am killing your SMTP send code?

I think I found my problem.
My BAD

The alert only goes out one time.....UNTIL the condition changes....
(-1) should show in the actions Window....

Here is what I was testing:
Setup SNMP Trap listener and log to windows app log....
every incoming trap only created one app log entry.

change it to (until status changes)
which is what? a time out?

in other words if there is a steady stream of incoming SNMP traps
what is considered an OK/Good status?

(I know i should be using a proper SYSLOG for this)

Probably, you just setup Condition to start action: "Repeat 1 time".
With this option selected test will trigger Action only after first consecutive Bad result.
If you want to get Alert each time test gets "Bad" status, use Condition to start action: "Repeat until status changes".
You may change this option on Action properties dialog:

what is considered an OK/Good status?
