Hi all,

I import this test:

Method = SNMP
Title = Proliant Raid Condition
Comment = SNMP: get cpqDaCntlrCondition.2 from 195.90.104.24
RelatedURL =
ScheduleMode= Regular
Schedule =
Interval = 600
Alerts =
ReverseAlert= No
UnknownIsBad= Yes
WarningIsBad= Yes
UseCommonLog= Yes
PrivLogMode = Default
CommLogMode = Default
;--- Test specific properties ---
Agent = 1.1.1.1
Profile = public
Timeout = 2000
OID = 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.2.1.1.6.2
Condition = DifferentFrom
Value = 2

into Hostmon. This test persists to return "UNKNOWN" (no matter how many times I press "Refresh this test") until I Right-click on it - choose "Edit" and then presses "OK". Then the test runs just fine.

Has anyone seen this before and can tell me what goin' on?

Just wanted to add that you can see that the test doesn't run until you enter the "Edit"-dialog and presses OK even if you have a erroneuos IP-address as in the test I posted (1.1.1.1) because the "Reply"-changes from void to "Timeout" when you do.

One more thing - I run version 7.52 of hostmon.

You forgot to specify Retries parameter

Method = SNMP
Title = Proliant Raid Condition
Comment = SNMP: get cpqDaCntlrCondition.2 from 195.90.104.24

ScheduleMode= Regular
Schedule =
Interval = 600

ReverseAlert= No
UnknownIsBad= Yes
WarningIsBad= Yes
UseCommonLog= Yes
PrivLogMode = Default

;--- Test specific properties ---
Agent = 1.1.1.1
Profile = public
Timeout = 2000
Retries = 2
OID = 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.2.1.1.6.2
