External Script

Servus,
can HostMonitor run a external script and send the results to different HM Tests without using a buffer txt-File?

For Example, I want to test the connection state of 16 HBAs. When I create 16 Tests, they all run at the same time, HM-Server goes very busy. So I want create 17 Tests, the first execute the external script and the externel Script send the results to the other 16 Test.
How would such a thing be done?

Regards Andi

If your script can send SNMP Trap messages, then you may setup 16 SNMP Trap test items and send different messages to each test.

Hi Alex,

that would be a nice idea. Did you know, if powershell can do that?

You may use some additional set of PowerShell commandlets from 3-rd party developers or external utilities to send SNMP Traps.
E.g. you may use SnmpTrapGen utility from Free Cmd Tools:
