I've noticed that when we disable a specific instance of the svchost process on the target machine that this test fails. Using the terminal services manager to connect to that machine fails as well. But the standard Remote Desktop (mstsc) still works fine. It's not a big deal as we would typically h...

Ok, makes sense. Thanks. This is a great tool.

Just so I know:
Will this be a "standard" test option in the future sometime?

I get result: "unable to start script" :-? In field "start cmd" I type: "c:\program files\hostmonitor5\scripts\tscheck.exe" In field "params" I type: -host:testserver (I tried just leaving blank to provoke "unknown: server name is required" response,...

Been looking at this topic which would resolve this current issue, I think: http://www.ks-soft.net/cgi-bin/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=2294 But I have another question. Tell me if this is correct: If I have HM set right now to alert me after 2nd trip, and I also want to be alerted when the test comes back...

If anyone else is interrested in this, please take a look at http://www.ks-soft.net/cgi-bin/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=3245 It's about a bug I had with using this advanced expression. :roll: Also, Alex, Is there a chance you may be implementing a choice in the drop-down list for triggering actions: "...

Thanks

Any chance of making a TSC test with actual username/password to verify that TSC is working correctly?

Thomas, sorry for not responding. Had not realized anyone was posting here still. We have just purchased it and only have it set up these past 3 months or so. Also, we have nothing to compare it to. We bought an IP Camera to go with it and it works well too, after updating the firmware. But, we cann...

I understand how it's impossible to be 100% accurate here. But I do like the average idea. And it doesn't seem like a lot of work to implement either. The only problem is... explaining this to ALL THE USERS who have been using this for the past 5 years..

From ks soft support: You are using "advanced mode" actions with expressions like (('%SimpleStatus%' == 'DOWN') OR ('%SimpleStatus%' == 'UNKNOWN')) '%SimpleStatus%' will return 'UNKNOWN' for WaitForMaster test items. You may use expression like (('%SimpleStatus%' == 'DOWN') OR ('%Status%' ...

I can do that, but first I'd like to make sure that none of the HostMonitor stored credentials are in any of those files (such as proxy auth user names, and the service account used, etc. Where should I look?

Today I got over 30 emails in less than 10 minutes for a test that turned to "Wait for Master" status. :-? Master test only has 2 dependant tests. Dependant 1 - synchronizes counters and status & alerts. Dependant 2 - synchronizes counters only. (This is the one that tripped 30 "W...

When a master test goes down then I receive an e-mail telling me it's down, but not from any of the dependant tests. Which is GOOD :). But, sometimes I still get e-mailed for each dependant test with status "Wait for Master". Also, I continue to receive these E-mails until the master goes ...

Well, it happened again, this time with hostmonitor 6.04. I sent support(at)ks-soft(dot)net the screenshots of the taskmanager. Again, I could just restart hostmonitor and everything was fine again. Here's the error in the log files again: SMTP client error: Access violation at address 0044FA3C in m...
