Note field for "folders"

[PLP1]

Hello HostMonitor

I would love a text/notes field that i could attach to my folders. As we have setup Hostmonitor, with the tree showing location, and subsection into a few subfolders (Think network, servers, etc..) and under each of these we have the individual devices under a folder (such, as Server1, Server2) which then contains the tests for this device. I would love to be able to put in a notes field that would be visible from the webinterface (such as webuser see it) to inform what this server / device is used for etc..

If i have somehow missed this option somewhere, please disregard my wish.

I do not know how much work this would be, one can hope

There is comment page in Folder Properties dialog
https://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfr ... FolderTree

But web interface does not display this comment. May be we can add such option..

I have another question about note fields in tests.
Is there one?

I have made tests a long time ago for example with SNMP and the status says something of the device, like:
1 = OK
2 = BAD
3 = UNK

I want to have that information in the test so when the test got a other outcome, I know what it is.

Thank you.

Yes, there is

I think its better to set appropriate test status, e.g.
- set "alert when OID ..oid.. is = 2" test option and HostMonitor will set Bad test status when device returns number 2
- add [x] User Warning status if ("%SuggestedStatus%"=="Ok") and ("%SuggestedReply%"=="3") test options and HostMonitor will set Warning test status when device returns number 3

And where can I find the note field?
Is that the comment section?

Thank you.

Yes, all test properties located in Test Properties window

Hopefully you can help me again Alex, I don't understand it I guess.

The problem is as followed.

I have a OID (1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.43.1.7.1.3.1.0) to read out the power supply of a dell switch.

This are the values that I can get back:
Powering: 4
No power: 5
Not powering: 6
Incompatible: 7
Operational: 2
Failed: 3
Not present: 1

So when I get a 2 back, the Power Supply is Operational.

What is the best way to program this?

In the Test Properties I have now:

Alert when OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.43.1.7.1.3.1.0 'doesn't contain' 2

The Optional status processing nothing is enables or filled in.

Sorry, I do not understand what exactly means "program this"?
What exactly numbers should be checked and what statuses should be set?
May be you want to set Bad status for all numbers except 2 and change Reply value, set Reply text depending on the number?

Hello Alex,

Yes, is this possible to make: May be you want to set Bad status for all numbers except 2 and change Reply value, set Reply text depending on the number?

what do I need in the reply for that ?

[KS-Soft]

You may use Tune up Reply expression like
if ('%SuggestedReply%'==1) Not present; if ('%SuggestedReply%'==3) Failed; if ('%SuggestedReply%'==4) Powering; if ('%SuggestedReply%'==5) No power; if ('%SuggestedReply%'==6) Not powering; if ('%SuggestedReply%'==7) Incompatible; else [%SuggestedReply%]
