There is an application for the iPhone called "Hostmonitor" writen by Bonex Data Systems. It does basic ping, smtp, ftp style tests direct from the iPhone. It is good for basic testing but obviously it can't penetrate firewalls and tell you the internal status of the corporate network (unl...

I had looked at the product overview and I got a different impression. You have clarified a few things and so I agree it is time to play with the software and get a deeper insight. Thanks for your persistence and help.

Have you read my answer? Actually no, I hadn't. I'm not sure why my comment got posted twice but it was in response to KS-Soft Europe, not to your latest comment. And it was not meant to be posted twice so I'm not sure what happened in this instance. Sorry if it confused. What exactly you do not li...

Thanks for the clarification. Having read the overview this application does not seem to solve the storage problem I am concerned with. It seems to be a tool for making charts quickly on the fly. Which isn't what I require. At the moment I create all the charts I need using a batch process and they ...

Sorry I am confused.

How can the next version of Hostmonitor be version 6.18 when the current version is 7.10.

Thanks. I got the import function working. There was a bug but I have reported it separately:- http://www.ks-soft.net/cgi-bin/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=4592 The date based macros for logging does not help me because I want to be able to move the logs to an alternate drive as and when space management re...

Our tests in hostmonitor are divided into folders based on the various customers sites that we are testing. For each customer we have a multitude of tests divided into folders relating to function. There is also a private log file associated with each customer. The log file for each customer is used...

Given the suggestion that Hostmonitor won't utilise windows enviroment variables I instead created a Hostmonitor Global Macro Variable with the required name. However hostmonitor also seemed to mangle this. It mangles as follows:- %udv_hostmonpath%/logs/private1.htm becomes C:/HOSTMONITOR/%udv_hostm...

Log Visualizer will be included in next version of HostMonitor.

Does that mean in version 8 or in the next release?

Actually just for others that might want to use this it is worth mentioning that you may need to include a TAB character between "Source Network Address:" and the "10.2.1."

Has this been implemented?

Also it would be good to be able to prune a log file such as:-

for test "CPU \\serverX" in privatelog1.htm where test is prior to 2007-10-01 then delete log entry

I think that hostmonitor is using a windows environment variable that I have specified incorrectly. We use private logs extensively for groups of tests. We have lots of these private log files in a specific directory and many of them are very large. The directory that they are kept in is along the f...

I had to use SimpleStatus as in:-

('%SuggestedSimpleStatus%'=='DOWN') and ('Source Network Address: 10.2.1.' in '%SuggestedReply%')

but otherwise thats perfect.

Okay I've upgraded and I think I have my head around the suggestion. As I understand it this approach won't change the fact that the test is changed to a BAD status it will merely allow me to do some advanced filtering before sending an email in response to that BAD status. However what I would real...
