Multible EDITs of tests

Hi Alex!

You can select multible tests and EDIT generel settings for many (at once) for those. I need You to make a "global approach" for the following Items:

Process -> Check process on....
Service -> Check service on....

We're stepping away from v3.x into v4.x and every Process and Service test has to be edited one-by-one ... I hate that!

A BIG SMILE FROM ME TO YOU ..

Cheers,
Hans Mosegaard

PS: That goes for HM v4.x only... no one wanna use v3.x anymore!!

It needs a lof of changes in code

But why do you need to change name of the target system? As I understand you want to use remote agent to perform test? I think you don't need to change name of the system. Agent performs test in the same way when you select "<local computer>" or when you provide name of the system where agent is installed. I think you need to change "Test By" property only. You may do it for group of tests..

When you're going from RPC - ie. HM make directly RPC calls to target - witch is used in v3.x, one have set the target IP in the "Check service on.." field! It's the same for Processes.

Even though I change "Test by", I also need a change for targit IP... ie. <local computer>. I migth have made a mistake back in v3.x - and now I have to pay for it!

Sooo... you say that it needs a lot of code-change for makeing group-edit on those entrys? Any way I can work-around this? Manual edit in configuration file? Anything I should take care of?

I remember reading about a separate global search replace tool. I suppose that would satify us.

But, I am going yo jump in here and add that switching 50 Ping test from 2000ms to 5000ms would be nice as a group select.

If all tests are of a common type, add common field to interface. I do realize that statement severely understates the amount of code it would take.

You may export tests into text file, edit it, and export back to HostMonitor.
If you want to replace all target systems to the same name (<local computer> as I understand), I can add new parameter for SetTestParam command (HMScript). In this case you will be able to use command "SetTestParam _AllService TargetSystem ''"

You can do it by single command "ReplaceTestParam _AllPing timeout 2000 5000". Just create text file with this command and click menu "File"->"Execute script". If you have ping tests in different directories you may need to add SetCurrentFolder and IncludeSubfolders commands.
See http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mframe.htm#actions.htm#actScript
