Please point me in the correct direction. Currently I have reports sent to my cell phone. Some mornings when I get up I have 10-15 messages and it takes a while to figure out what is up and what is still down. I would like to access a web page from my cell phone to get an instant view of what is down. By going to a web page I can see that if anything is down and just delete all the messages without opening them.
Is there any special code or a template already created for viewing a web page from a cell phone?
I have a Cingular 3125 running Windows Mobile and a data plan.

I think, you may use Compact Web Interface.
Quote from the manual:
http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/webservice/index.htm#compactview
==============
In addition to the standard web interface (available by http://web_server_address/index.htm link) Web Service provides a second one, which is more suitable for mobile devices with a small screen (PDA, smart phone).

To access this service use the following links:
http://web_server_address/compact.htm
http://web_server_address/tiny.htm
http://web_server_address/links.htm
==============

Max

I am looking for the ability to FTP a report to a web site located on our ISP. Is what you suggested the remote console?
What I want to do is this.
1. When event happens (good or bad) create an HTML report. I have this working correctly with a dashboard report created.
2. FTP HTML to web page on ISP. (part I am missing)
3. After 3 consecutive bads, send text to cell phone to check web page. I have this part working.

Right now I have a batch file that will FTP the page, however, it does not work reliably. It is also set to FTP on a schedule regardless of change in the page.
I want to have the FTP triggered based on a change in status so that I am not constantly FTPing files that have not changed.
I can write a program to do this in winbatch, but I was hoping for a built in application.

I see the following solution. You have to add several actions in your profile:
1. Add the "Generate reports" action with "Start when 1 consecutive Bad/Good results occur" and "Repeat: until status changes" options. You already have this working correctly with a dashboard report created.
2. Add "Execute external command" action with the same options as action above. "Execute external command" action should start your batch file that will FTP the just generated reports to the ISP. Please note: if alert profile contains several actions, they will be launched in a predefined order. So, at first generating reports, and then ftp.
3. Add Send SMS action after 3 consecutive bad results occur option. You have this part working.
4. You have to add actions from step 1 and 2 both into "Bad status actions" and "Good status actions" sections.
http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mframe.htm#actions.htm#properties

So, we did not manage to get rid of an unreliably batch file, but now ftp batch file will be triggered after reports has been generated.

Does it suit your needs?

Max

I woud suggest you to take a look at Web Service: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/webservice/index.htm
Quote from the manual:
===============================
This application works like an HTTP server and provides web interface for HostMonitor. It means you can install Web Service on a local or remote system and check (and control) HostMonitor in real time using a web browser on any computer that is connected to the Internet.
===============================
Probably, that is what you are looking for?

Host Monitor never ceases to amaze me. I came to the forums today to see if someone had built a more compact web service screen, so I could more easily see a status on my mobile device. Wow, it's already there, and it WORKS GREAT!!!!!

Thanks !!!!

Anonymous access is restricted. However, you may use "Auto login" option. Quote from the manual:
http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/webservice/index.htm#advoptions
===============================
Auto login
This option allows you to specify username and password that will be used when browser connects to Web Service. This way user (who had started web browser to connect to HostMonitor) will not be prompted for a name/password at all (unless you provide invalid name or password). We highly recommend to refrain from specifying accounts that have rights to change HostMonitor's settings (e.g. stop monitoring or disable test items).
===============================
