Reset of counters when service ist restarted

[thomasschmeidl]

HM 6.74 running as Service on WS2003

When the service is restarted, some test variables/counters obviously are reset, whereas others keep their value, e.g:
%Recurrences% keeps its value
%FailureIteration% is reset

As the expressions used to determine "Warning"- and "Normal" Status use %FailureIteration%, tests will fall back to "Normal" or "Warning" when the service is restarted and have to be acknowledged again.

It would be helpful for me to get a list of those counters that will not be reset when the service is restarted. Where are these counters stored?

Thanks in advance

Its not a bug, however... may be you are right and some counters should not be resetted.

Thanks for prompt reply, Alex

I didn't want to report a bug.

But for redesigning my "warning"-expressions I would ask you to tell me WHICH counters are stored in hml-file.

Thanks in advance

Every counter is stored except the following
%CurrentStatusIteration%
%SuggestedStatus%
%SuggestedSimpleStatus%
%SuggestedReply%
%SuggestedRecurrences%
%FailureIteration%
+ test specific variables are not stored
%TraceBrief%
%TraceFull%
%HttpPage%
%HttpHeader%
%HttpCode%
%DnsResults%
%TrapHost%
%TrapType%
etc

Thanks for this information, Alex,

we successfully corrected all expressions with %CurrentStatusIteration% and %FailureIteration% and everything works fine.

PROPOSAL/WISH: I think it makes sense to give the information above in the manual (or add the counters to the hml-file)
