Ok.. got it working, not quite sure what was going wrong, but when I copied and pasted the password again, as I thought I had done a zillion times it decided to work. Anyway, the settings I'm using are: Address: smtp.office365.com Port: 587 TLS: Explicit Auth: Login Login: - licensed Office365 accou...

We have moved our email system to Office365 and I would like to use an Office365 account for the mailer to send alerts. However I'm having difficulty getting the settings working. I've tried various combinations of port/TLS, Auth etc. to connect to smtp.office365.com I'm using a licensed Office365 m...

Can my add a vote. I have a number of sites that are on ADSL connections and find there are times where the internet just slows down. When I get staff to reboot the router it syncs up at a good speed again. Ping tests are not telling me anything is bad. On one site something strange is happening, a ...

Good question. Why it can't? Because a number of services start but then stop themselves when they are not needed. The number seems to be increasing. Under windows 7 I see .NET 4 services that stop themselves. Also there are many services that may be left as 'manual'. This is fine because they are s...

The query you showed me is good but using it is where it gets complex. What I probably want is... SELECT Name FROM Win32_Service WHERE Started=1 then store this as a Baseline. Now every test, repeat the query and compare it to the Baseline. Alert if the query and the Baseline vary and tell me what i...

Not sure if this exists but I think it would be cool... Is there a way I could caputure a list of all of the services that are running on a server, then if this changes I can get an alert that tells me which services have stopped or started (or both even). A button to re-get the baseline services wo...

Yes, OK I agree.

I have no idea or understanding of the complexity and work involved.

I was only being suggestive of what may be nice to have. Wether it is worth all the work to do it is entirely up to you.

Thanks for listening.

That would be what the buffer is for. Hold the information until the connection is re-established. Then you have a nice little log of what went on while the agent was disconnected.

Actually I still think you should consider such an option. It would be quite handy for the agent to be able to operate in a disconnected mode with a buffer for results. This would be very handy for isolating connectivity issues. Imagine if the agent cound do a traceroute in the event of a test failu...

Thanks for that Alex,

I've obviously totally missunderstood the intention of an active agent, versus the passive agent.
I shall go back and have another read about it.

Hi, Just trying to understand the Active Agent a bit better. My results always show that when Hostmonitor is disconnected from the Agent because the link between them is down the test results for the agent show as UNKNOWN. But I know that the test at the agent end should be working. I though the Act...

I think I have it working now as a ShellScript by calling "cmd /c perl.exe %script% %params%"

Just need to hack the script now to produce outputs that satisfy hostmon.

I was looking at your documentation for Microsoft ActiveScripting sounds like I should get Perl listed in the language dropdown when Perl is installed on the server. However I still only see VBScript and JScript as opitions in the dropdown box for Language. When I test it it returns a VBScript or JS...

I have some perl scripts installed that I can execute on my Hostmon server to query my VMWare ESXi server. I have cut the scripts down so that they only output the exact detail I want to query. I have been having trouble executing them as an external command and also I cannot import them as a Shell ...
