|
|
When testing for a file age/existence, can you provide a retry count and retry delay.
ie. Test 5 times, with 5 seconds between tests.
I monitor a process watchdog file, but the file is replaced periodically.
I believe occasionally the test occurs right at the same time, giving a false alert.
Repeating the test more than once over a short period would prevent the false alert.
Otherwise, really nice product. Clean and very effective. |

I think you can setup everything by yourself.
E.g. you may tell HostMonitor to start action after 2nd or 3rd consecutive failure.
Quote from the manual
==========
Start when N consecutive Bad/Good results occur
This parameter determines when to execute an action. For example you want to send a message to a network administrator's pager after three unsuccessful tests of the web server consecutively, set this parameter to 3. If you want to start action right after the test status was changed, set parameter to 1.
==========
Also, please check "Action depends on bad one" option

Another option - you may tell HostMonitor to use Normal or Warning status after 1st failure.

And if you want to change test interval or repeat test after 1st failure, you may use "Change test interval" or "Repeat test" actions
