Thanks Alex. That is correct... we currently send emails to trigger incidents. I was just thinking that a tighter integration is possible, now that they have an API that could potentially allow HostMonitor users to right-click a test and perform a custom action which sends an Acknowledge (suspends a...

PagerDuty Integration

We used to use a home-grown dialer application to allow HostMonitor to make phone alerts w/ pre-recorded messages, which would call down a list of numbers. But, the app was clunky and had lots of bugs. We recently found PagerDuty, a webapp that lets you setup different alerts & on-call lists. It...

What's New?

Alex,

I don't see an updated news.htm page, and I've cleared by browser cache. Is it possible that the changelog has not been uploaded yet?

I know about & use private logs. The nice thing about exporting the quick log is that the quicklog info for a folder would contain information for all tests in the folder & would thus allow the user to view the duplicate information without having to review multiple files. It's not that I ca...

Export QuickLog

Is it possible to export the quick log for a specific test or folder to txt or (preferably) csv format? An example of where this is useful... I have a few tests that are monitoring SNMP messages from some custom applications. They are supposed to report errors that are application-specific, but the ...

Host Monitor featured in TechNet Magazine!

Kudos for being listed on pg. 6 (Toolbox) of the July '07 TechNet Magazine. The author is incorrect listing your product under an article titled " New Products for IT Professionals," but the fact that your product finally got some recognition from the folks at TechNet is great. Unfortunate...

Alex, My boss has written some code that will read an .ini file for a call list and attempt to contact each number in turn. When the phone is answered, a generic message asks the user to "press any key to hear a message from HostMonitor" -- If no key is pressed, it disconnects and calls th...

API for hostmon?

Alex, I'm looking to use a proprietary application with my host monitor installation. The application is capable of monitoring itself, but I would like to be able to leverage the alert capabilities of AHM. I know that I could recreate the same type of test within AHM, but the original application al...
