i am using the eventlog filters to pick out event 8019 in the application log to flag a good or bad backup depending on the description text.

I am finding i can either set the test to show geen all day and then red when the eventlog picks up the event OR invert the logic of the test.

ideally i would like the test to be neither red or green (grey ?) and once HM has tested for the 8019 event it then flags red or green depending on the outcome.

how are other's handeling monitor of ntbackup events

Correct. HostMonitor changes test status to "Bad" only when it has found NEW event(s) that satisfies all specified requirements. If, after the next probe, the monitor does not find a new "Bad" event, it changes the test status to "Ok"

Sorry, single NT Event Log test item cannot check for "bad" and "good" events. Single test may check for several different events, however it will consider both events as "bad" and set "bad" test status. I think you need to setup 2nd test (to check for "good" event) and use "Reverse alert" option for this test.

Someone uses "NT event log" test methods to check various Event Id's like 8019, 58053, 34114, 34113, 58057, 65314, 58061.
Someone uses scripts, like the following:

Thanks for the quick answer. That helps a lot.

may i suggest you setup a forum for AHM users to post their scripts and tests as i searched the forum and didnt turn up much.

I found the forum where the scripts are located, the "library" forum !

Not a lot in it. I will post my "newby user" scripts when I am happy with it.

Correct. There is a special branch, called "Library", where you can share you ideas, scripts, utilities with HostMonitor's community.

You are right. Most of our customers prefer to use prepared solution rather than write its own scripts. Some of them do not share their scripts for some reason. We are trying to encourage people to post usefull information there.
