Found the culprit!!!

Hi Alex, I know it.s been a while, but I was quite busy. I finally found some time to do some more testing. I disabled one folder at a time and let hostmonitor run for a while. Then enabled the folder again and went on with the next one. The crashing stopped when I disabled the "Count all files...

Ok, I think I have to give up on this one...

...but that brings up my next question: I have everything correctly formatted in 5.12. Now I've installed 4.86 and want to migrate/downgrade all my tests to this version. I have copied all *.lst and *.ini files to the new server and also the hml and ~hm files. Everything looks very good besides one ...

tested w2k professional SP4

Hi Alex, we just installed hostmonitor on another machine (w2K professional SP4). I am afraid it has exactly the same problems as the w2003 Server. The frequency of the tests is: Services 1,1/sec UNC 24,7/min I cannot really increase the test interval, since we need it set like that. I 've tried sev...

Hi Alex, we are not using any SNMP or Traffic monitors at all. We also do not use RMA agents. We are getting ready to put this on another system. What be your suggestion as to what OS version would be the most stable? 2000 Server or even Workstation? Here is an overview of the tests we are performin...

Antivirus Software

Hi Alex,
no we do not have a antivirus monitor installed, just regular antivirus file scanning. So, I guess we can exclude this. Could a memory leak crash hostmonitor every few minutes??

If it was only once every 2 weeks...

Hi timn, first of all, thanks a lot for your reply. We get this failure about every 10-60 minutes. Yes, we are running hostmonitor as a service, since this gives me the advantage that I can have the service restart automatically whenever it fails. we cannot afford being without this monitoring for l...

Hostmonitor 5.12 is constantly crashing

Hi all, we have a brand-new installation of HostMonitor 5.12 on a 2-processor/2GB RAM Windows2003 Standard Server. So there is plenty of resources available. The hostmonitor is running a bit more than 1300 tests on machines all over the world. Is 1300 too much for one system? The new "Estimate ...

CreateFolder issue

Hi Alex, maybe my hair color (blonde) gets in my way again :roll: but I can get the CreateFolder command to work. I made an export of my tests, removed them from HM and then try to import the Export file again. I removed the ; from the line DefaultFolder = company\testfolder and before I added a lin...

Which Ports are used to communicate with the tested server?

Hi Alex, I was unable to find the answer in the help file. Which ports are used to run certain tests on remote servers? In this case we try to run the test "Count files" on a remote server. There is a firewall in between that very likely keeps us from successfully running this test. Which ...

MAPI Alerts

Hi Alex, regarding the question below: It's been almost 2 years now. Any update on that? That would be a REAL improvement for hostmonitor. Especially for us as we use hostmonitor to monitor our SMTP mailing system and if that doesn't work we won't get an alert via SMTP obviously. Do you have any app...

problems enabling or disabling folders or selected tests

Hi Alex, there was a request in february: Posted: 17 Feb 2003 18:22 Hi Alex, On several occasions I've noticed after right-clicking and disabling all tests within a folder a few stay "enabled". But, more often, the opposite occurs. After a successful disable of all tests within a folder wh...
