Thanks for the confirmation.

We run multiple tests on the same log file looking for errors. Does each test keep it's own record of the last test time, or does HM only track a file once? Example Log file = C:\Logs\error.log Test 1: Bad="error", Schedule = every 1 hour Test 2: Bad ="queued", Good = "sent&...

"If mydwValue = nil Then" should not work unless you have set mydwValue to "nil". If you are testing for NULL you need to use "If mydwValue is nothing Then" or if it's an empty string it's "If mydwValue = "" Then".

cheers, Paul

Latest version, hot off the presses. We have a new Exchange box and it uses Mount Points for the database disks. This requires the use of Win32_Volume, but this is not supported in XP. The test for compatability (line 183) is ugly so all suggestions welcome on a nice way to do this. Unfortunately I ...

I have a similar problem, but I only have one action and 4 tests that may trigger the action. 2 x master test. Trigger action if bad for > X time. 2 x dependant tests. Trigger action immediately. I can see how to create 4 actions, but I would like to use the one action for all of the tests as I may ...

It depends on what drives you have and which ones you want to check. If you only have drives C, D, E, R, and S, then you only need to specify the threshold once. computername 10% if you have other drives that you don't want to check you can just specify individual drives as Alex has mentioned. If yo...

Can you use user defined variables in the test?

We do this sort of thing for failed services. In my alert profile: 1. Start Service, start after 1, repeat 1. 2. Set new test interval, start after 1, repeat 1. 3. Send emial, start after 2, repeat 1. 4. Set new test interval, start after 2, repeat 1. Description: On failure attempt to restart servi...

Yes, it would be good if it was a core disk test - it's one of the first tests I added.

I really like the ability to add additional tests and get a bit of user driven development. I also like the way the KS boys take notice and fix things.

cheers, Paul

Yes, they are in different folders and you need all of them - I found out in the upgrade to V8 as I did a clean install and changed directory names.

No problem waiting for the fix, thanks.

Does this problem affect the watchdog? If it does then I still have a system test in place to tell me it's broken.

RCC connects to either the app or the service, except when the app re-starts the service. Then I have to manually re-start the service before it will work. HM service is set up as standard, using local system account. This works for us. From System Log 7/23/09 10:05:52 AM Monitor started 7/23/09 10:...

This installation is an update from V7. V7 was installed in C:\Program Files\HostMonitor7, but we are short of space on C:. 1. Backed up config. 2. Un-installed HostMonitor 7. 3. Installed HM8 in D:\Program Files\HostMonitor8. 4. Copied config files back in and set values that were specific to HM8. ...

HM also seem to come up with monitoring paused. I thought it might be the 1 minute delay on service start up, but it seems to be stopped rather than paused. Clicking the Start button fixes it.
