You cannot use such operation.
Please chekc the manual: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... m#userexpr

Do you have an other suggestion, how I can manage my problem:
I want to get an alert, when the state of the mastertest is bad for more than 1 hour

Thank you so much for your help

There is %CurrentStatusDuration_sec% variable.
You expression may look like ('%::MasterTestName::SimpleStatus%'=='DOWN') and (%::MasterTestName::CurrentStatusDuration_sec%>3600)

If you want to start some alerts based on this condition, I think you need to use this expression for "advanced mode" action assigned to that master test. You don't need to use this expression for dependant tests.
Unless I misunderstood your needs...

Please check list of variables that you can use: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... .htm#macro
Also you may check manual in MS Word format (manual.doc file located in HostMonitor folder)

Yes, that was it, what I wanted ... I have the german manual and there I didn't find anything of:
Variables that represent parameters of some explicitly specified test

That made the job I wanted!!

Thank you for your good help!!

You are welcome.

I have a similar problem, but I only have one action and 4 tests that may trigger the action.
2 x master test. Trigger action if bad for > X time.
2 x dependant tests. Trigger action immediately.
I can see how to create 4 actions, but I would like to use the one action for all of the tests as I may need to add additional master/dependant tests.

cheers, Paul

You want to use 2 different conditions so I think you should use 2 action profiles: 1 for master tests, another for dependant tests
