%HostAddrB% and performance counter test

[babar22]

HI,

I try to use %HostAddrB% instead of %HostAddr% but didn't work under test name field (performance counter process test). %HostAddr% work well and return me \\SERVERNAME but when I try %HostAddrB% he didn't show the SERVERNAME but %HostAddrB% in the test name field.

I'm using latest version 9.18 of HM under W2k8 SP2 x64

Any idea or is it a bug ?

under test name field?
Please check the manual http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... #templates
As you may see there is no %HostAddrB% variable for templates.

HostMonitror supports several types of variables.
E.g.
- variables that represent parameters of the same test that had triggered an action: %HostAddr%, %HostAddrB%, %TestName%, %Agent%, %TestMethod%, %Status%, %Reply%, e.t.c
- Test-properties variables: %hostaddr%, %MethodName%, %Folder%, %host%, e.t.c...
- folder-related variables: %FolderID%, %FolderComment%, e.t.c..
and so on...
%HostAddrB% - is macro variable that can be used with actions, triggered by test, also, it can be used with test Optional status processing (e.g. with Tune Up reply value option).
It cannot be used with test properties, like Test name, Comment, e.t.c.
Only test-properties variables (%hostaddr%, %MethodName%, %Folder%, e.t.c) can be used there.
