May I ask why you are ignoring my requests and do not provide data to us? Regards Alex Dear Alex, I had some days to think about that question (during continuous tests and tries to understand how HTTP action work in Host Monitor). And here is what bothers me: Now it's sure and clear that HTTP actio...

I'm sorry for that.
I'll be glad to give you all the data I have - so you can re-create the issue and test it on your system.
Will that be ok?

Thanks!

Thanks, and some new results..

Dear Alex, Thanks again for taking the time to look into my issue and reply me with this great detail. I appreciate that. I'll try to explain what I mean when I ask you (as a system) to look into such an issue, and not just waste your time on my specific HTTP request. As it seems to me, there is a d...

It seems to be Host-Monitor's behavior...

Dear Alex, Thanks, again, for looking into it, but I must say I'm disappointed. If you look into the behavior of this issue (same url works in browser and not in Host-Monitor) - it's defenately a software issue. Maybe it's a lack of 'accept type definition' in the HTTP call, or any other formatting ...

HTTP request action - strange behavior. Maybe a bug?

Ok. I looked now using Wireshark, saw the HTTP request goes out, and then came back error 400 from the remote server. Tried to copy the request from the textbox in the action definition and just pasted it into the URL bar of Internet Explorer - and it worked ok. How come that the exact same URL stri...

Thanks, I'll look into it (probably prefer not to install another tools on my servers..),

But isn't it a log file of HostMonitor that shows what exactly did it do?

(and if not yet - I think it's a great idea for a feature request).

Many thanks again.
I'll try to see if wireshark can solve me this.

Thanks, and a second phase, please:

Thanks for the idea, Alex. I've tried it, and it fires the needed action. Now I'm dealing with the next stage in a problem: My Action uses HTTP request to send a SMS message. In the action log I see the HTTP request was fired, but it's to my telephony company server so I don't have their logs. All I...

Test an alert action.

Hello!

I remember I've tried it long ago without success:
How can I mimic an error so I can test how HostMonitor will activate the Alert action (in my case - Send SMS to me) with correct parameters etc.?

Many thanks!

HTTP, so ssl/tls/ie not relevant.
2003 server R2, running HM 10.54 (if I'm not wrong).

How can I copy/show 'my settings'?

btw - I'm sorry about opening a new topic, it made by mistake (I meant to continue the original topic).

URL action vs URL test

Thanks, Alex.

It's interesting.

HTTP URL TEST - gives me results (sends SMS) when using the same URL.
HTTP action - doesn't.

I'll try to find a way to 'sniff' the network and to find the problem with the TCP and HTTP actions.

(btw - the action results in the quick log just say 'Done'..)

I have the same problem.

copied and pasted the URL from a working example in IE, but nothing happens.
How can I trace the request and answer from the server so I can troubleshoot this?
Thanks!

List/map everything will be ok.
I looked for it even in the right-click menu -> system information and didn't find the mac.

Can I make tests out of the discovery and add a comment that will include the mac?
Can I export a text file (report) with list of host names, ip, and mac?

Thanks!!!

MAC address in network discovery or map

Hello genious people.

After playing with network discovery tool - I wondered if there an option to get from it the MAC address of the discovered node (local network of course) and write it in the list of devices discovered.

Many thanks!

Alert/Action usage report

Hello.

I'm looking for a simple thing, but can't find it:
Where can I find a log of Alerts/Actions that actually triggered (like 'on that time - a SMS was sent to xxx'.

Thanks!
