Hi,

Is it possibile to log (show) in the reply column mb instead of gb by the diskspace check?

f.e. I want a daily stastic of the diskspace growht, but when there are only a few mb increase, then I can't see anything

Thanks,

Martin

There is undocumented" option: SizeUnitThreshold. It defines threshould for units (KB->MB->GB). E.g. default value for this parameter 9, it means HostMonitor changes unit to Mb when size > 9MB, changes unit to GB when size > 9GB, etc.
If you add line "SizeUnitThreshold=999" into" [Misc]" section of "hostmon.ini" file and restart HostMonitor, monitor will display '616731 MB' instead of '602 GB'.

This should be a feature!!!! I am so glad that I found this "adjustment" - now my reports can be more accurate. I look forward to seeing this as a feature in the updates.

H'm, we receive similar requests just once a year, probably most people don't need such option.
Lets vote. Who else needs such option?

This is great, just what I need.
In case I want KB, what option to use ?

It depends on the reply value, you are expecting to retreive. If you have retrieved a several gigabytes reply value, HostMonitor will never change units to Kb. Specifying SizeUnitThreshold=999 means, that HostMonitor will show Kb units only if the reply value is less than 999 Mb.

So I can't set at fixed unit in any way ?
I need it for reports about diskspace.

I am afraid, you can't.

I do not think you should worry about it. HostMonitor and LogAnalyzer are able to distinguish different units and calculate corrrect information into reports.

Why don't you publish all "undocumented options". It's not necessary to have them in the GUI but there could be a short explanation in the manual.

If option was implemented in order to to help 1 or 2 customers, we do not advertise it in the manual.
