Alex,

We have created various views, For example one view shows paused tests another shows tests in a Warning status and another shows failed tests.

For the tests that are paused I would like to have a column (Use view's own column settings) that would show the remaining time of the paused test.

When we are fixing a server it would help if we could see the remaining pause time left or if we had paused a test for too long.

We can add some variables like %PauseDurationMin%, %PauseDurationSec%; variables can be used for custom fields within View or Folder; they can be used for Custom HTML reports; etc.

But there is problem - all other fields are static, well, they can be changed when you modify test settings or changed when HostMonitor sets new test status however HostMonitor does not need to check every second if some property changed. Value of %PauseDuration...% variable should be changed every second (or at least every minute), this require additional code and it will use additional system resources (e.g. if you have 1000 paused tests, check, modify and redraw 1000 items - not a nice idea).

I have added suggestion into "to do" list but I am not sure what exactly we will do.

Regards
Alex

ALex,

Variables would help alot.

If you allowed variables in columns that might be very useful.

Of course it would only update when the test ran, but in our case that would work fine.

Ok, we will implement 3 new variables:
%PauseDurationMin%
%PauseDurationSec%
%PausedTill%

%PauseDurationMin% and %PauseDurationSec% - may be not really useful for Views, but for Custom HTML reports should be Ok

Regards
Alex

Alex,

Thank you! It is possible to display %PausedTill% in a column of a view?

If you are using Advanced Host Monitor version 9.50, then you may apply this update: www.ks-soft.net/download/hm951d.zip
Unzip files and replace hostmon.exe, rcc.exe modules.

Optionally you may update Active RMA agents (if you are using them) and RMA Manager

Regards
Alex
