I delete all tests. Then I use the test templates and my Excel spreadsheet which are processed by a Perl script which creates the new text file. Aha, I see. Then for sure HostMonitor will start all these tests because checks never were performed. The problem is I do not want all the tests to be tes...

The problem is the 'default' behavior of Host Monitor. When Host Monitor's Monitoring is first started, the Host Monitor program runs through all the tests one by one. This can create an e-mail storm if there are a couple hundred alerts (red items in the Host Monitor console). It would be better if...

The two services that I am talking about are "KS Advanced Host Monitor" and "KS Web Service". Both services run on the Host Monitor server when it is in "service" mode. I switch off the services when I want to run the Host Monitor program in application mode to test cha...

Host Monitor e-mail storm when restarting the monitoring

I periodically make changes to the Host Monitor tests. When I make the changes, I run a batch file which sets the two Host Monitor services to disabled and reboots the server. I then launch the Host Monitor application to make the changes. I then reboot the server again with a batch file that enable...

Changing Acknowledged colors from pink to blue on the web

The 'blue' color scheme is used. The Acknowledged events had a 'pink' background. So when the events are Acknowledged, they change from a 'red' background to a 'pink' background. These colors are too close to each other. I changed the Acknowledged event color from a 'pink' background to 'blue' with ...

Can the option be added on a future version? It is very annoying every time the web GUI is launched to have an extra click. It would be much better if the default view of the web GUI was the "Views" instead of the "Folders".

Changing the default from "Folder" to "Views&

When I launch the web GUI, the web page comes up organized by "Folders". I then click on "Views" and it is organized by "Views".

How do I change the default so that when I launch the web GUI, it comes up defaulting to "Views"?

GreyHat64, I liked your script so much I thought we should have a more flexible version. I have added the ability to supply drive specific sizes on the command line. Usage: CSCRIPT HDFree.VBS {computer_name} {[drive:]threshold [[drive:]threshold] [.....]} e.g. CSCRIPT HDFree.VBS Mycomp C:2 D:20%% 1...

We are using Advanced Host Monitor version 8.64 and are licensed for unlimited tests.
