I am running HM version 8.14 as a service. I just moved my installation from a Windows 2008 R2 Server to a Windows 2019 Standard Server. Most of the tests are working just fine. My biggest problem is that none of my NT Event Log tests are working. All of them return the error: "System Error. Co...

I will check it out. It does sound like it would do what I'm asking.

There are some ways to mostly accomplish this, but as far as I've been able to find, this doesn't quite exist. I'm happy to be wrong if there's a great way to do this . . . What I'm interested in is a master test which will start a dependent test immediately after each successful test (or failed tes...

Excellent! I hadn't figured out that there's a local RCC allowed.

Is there anything new on the ability to interact with HM running as a service on 2008 R2 server? I can't say I understand programming, but there are many other programs (vmware tools, McAfee) that will have a system tray icon for interaction with a running service -- even in an RDP (non-admin) sessi...

avery_larry, It looks like you're using text or html for logging, which makes for easy log file manipulation, but automating it is a challenge isn't it? It probably depends on how you would like to manage logging and reporting, but couldn't you use the "Change log file every month" option...

This must be some bizarre Windows problem. The log.htm file (primary log) has a creation date of 8/28/2008. log2.htm (the backup log) and syslog.htm both have creation dates of today. If I shutdown HM and start it back up, then the script file I created will run -- which makes sense as the creation ...

So my first question--how specifically does hostmonitor determine when the log file was created? HostMonitor checks file creation time My second question -- why would the program execute more than one time per day, or even more than one time per month? Because logical condition returns "true&q...

After reading about the log file processing, I decided to do the following: Log all events to both the primary and backup log files. Every month move the primary log file to a backup location and rename the backup log file as the primary log file using a custom .cmd file. This should give me a prima...

H'm.. if you setup test interval to 23 hours and you refresh test at 3pm then HostMonitor will not start test at 7.00 :( I think that's only true if you manually refresh and force it to run even though it's out-of-schedule. Like this: Test is set to run every 23 hours. Schedule is setup to only all...

However there is another solution - use built in scheduler to "refresh" test at 7:00 (create "on the schedule" action to start HMScript with "RefreshTest" command) http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mframe.htm#actions.htm#actScript Yeah, complicated :( Regards Alex I'l...

I want to run a test once each Mon. through Fri. morning at 7:00 am. I don't think that can be setup in irregular or regular schedule directly. I've setup the test to run on a regular schedule every 2 hours, and then I setup a Schedule that is enabled Mon. through Fri. at 7:00 am. Yes, you need to ...

I know how to setup multiple actions for a single action profile. What I want to do is avoid entering the exact same single action that is appropriate for multiple action profiles. Example: I have a variety of different types of tests. I want ALL tests that fail to send an email to admin@mydomain.co...

Are you really using version 3.70??

Not anymore. I just upgraded. But at the time I was reading the help pages on the old version. It definitely wasn't clear about the ability to look at "new" events. (I don't know if it was able to or not--but it definitely wasn't clear.)

Thank you.
