How to trigger an HMS Script

[MartinOwen]

Hi All,

I'm new to Host Monitor and this forum, so be gentle!

I have a simple requirement to trigger an hms script from a web page hosted on the same server as HM (Veriosn 10.30)

All I need is a button on the web page that acknowledges a specific test and resets the status.
The script body looks fine, but I can't work out the trigger mechanism to actually run the HMS script.

Thanks.

>The script body looks fine

how exactly your script sends data to HostMonitor? Does it send SNMP Trap message? creates some file? adds record into log file? changes some SNMP agent counter? sends e-mail?

Hi ALex,

Thanks for getting back to me.

By the body of the script, I meant this bit.

AckTestStatusByID 15 StopAlerts maintenance

How I get this information to HostMonitor is my problem.

Thanks

HostMonitor offers many test methods. Choose one and use it to start HMS script.
E.g. create empty file and use "File/Folder Availability" test method to start script when file exist and newer then N minutes
