Hello,
I just would like to know if is it possible for HostMonitor to install client on host and add tests automatically.
I know that the answer is probably no but....
Thanks in advance for the support !
Is it possible to install automatically HostMonitor Client ?
>I just would like to know if is it possible for HostMonitor to install client on host
What exactly means "client"?
RCC?
Remote Monitoring Agent (RMA) for Windows?
RMA for UNIX?
something else?
RMA does not require special installation, you may copy files...
Quote from the manual
HostMonitor does not know what exactly tests and parameters you want to use. You should tell software what do you want but there are some options for automation.
E.g. you may import test settings from text file (file created by your own application/script), you may setup HostMonitor to check for changes in import file and import new settings automatically; you may use templates and then create set of new tests for the host using single Copy operation, etc

>and add tests automaticallyIf you need to install RMA on an array of systems, then the easiest way is to:
Install it on one system using installation program (see the instructions in previous paragraph)
Configure an agent (setup timeout, password, list of enabled tests, enable or disable remote management, etc)
Then simply copy preconfigured agent to all systems. You need to copy just 3 files: rma_cfg.exe, rma.ini, rma.exe (if you need Passive RMA) or rma_active.exe (if you need Active RMA)
Note: you should assign unique name for each Active RMA. If you assign the same name for several agents, HostMonitor will accept connection from 1st started agent and reject connections from other agents with the same name
Note 1: It is also possible (however you may never need it) to run several instances of RMA on the same system. To do this you have to install several copies of RMA into different folders on the hard drive. Each copy of Passive RMA should then be set to use different TCP port. You should assign unique name for each Active agent.
Note 2: RmaInstaller utility allows you to install Remote Monitoring Agent as Win32 service on remote systems. The utility included into Advanced Host Monitor package; after installation you may find this utility in "Utils\RmaInstaller" sub-directory.
