Ping status 'No answer' as warning

[papalima]

Hi,

I need to ping some ip addresses that are not that importent to get a bad result, these test are just for information and should not be giving a red backcolor.

I tried the 'optional status processing' but I not shure I use the correct syntax.

Any idea how to do this?

Yes, you may use "Optional" status processing as well. I think, you should enable "Use Warning status if" options with following expression:

Code: Select all

('%SuggestedSimpleStatus%'=='DOWN')

Please, read the following for details: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... processing

Hi Max,

By monitoring these Ping-tests, I see these test items are alternating after adding the code from 'Warning' to 'No answer' to 'Warning' to 'No answer' and so on.

Any Idea?

Cannot reproduce this behavior. Could you export this particular test into text file (menu "File" -> "Export to text file") and send to support@ks-soft.net please?

What version of HostMonitor do you use?
What Windows do you use? Service Pack?

Done.

As I can see, you utilized "%SimpleStatus%" variable, while I asked you to use '%SuggestedSimpleStatus% variable. Please, copy and paste the following expression in order to make test work properly:

Code: Select all

('%SuggestedSimpleStatus%'=='DOWN')
