To Test a group of tests

[pfgm]

Hi, I'd like to setup a test to a specified folder (group of test), and report to an HTML an overview of the specific tests within that folder.
For example
Root/Web servers Test1, Test2, Test3
Root/Overview Test (test1, test2, test3) if any of them are bad or unknown this test would fail, and the report would show it in Red.

Let me know if I explain myseld right.

Regards, Pablo

Not sure I understand you.
You want to display only "Bad" and "Unknown" tests in the report? Its easy to setup. Each report profile has list of statuses that should be displayed. Check "Report Profiles" dialog (menu Profiles->Report profiles).

Alex, sorry for my lack of english language to explain my self.

Let me put it this way.
In the example test that comes with the Hosmonitor you have 3 Folders:
USA Branch, Asia and Europe. I would like to create a report that shows me just 3 Items (USA Branch, Asia and Europe) that would change the color of this items based on the status of the tests that are inside these folders. Then I would have an overview of the overall status of the whole system without the need to show specific tests.

Thanks a lot, Pablo

Now I understand.
I think you should use "Custom HTML report". "Test items" section of the report profile can be empty, in this case HostMonitor will not display tests.
Also you should use some JScript in "Folder title" section. Script may check %FolderCurrent_BadTests% and %FolderCurrent_UnknownTests% variables and set color depending on these variables.
More information about Custom HTML reports available in the manual or you may find this information on our web site at www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mframe.htm#profiles.htm#CustomHTML

Now I have the master Report, the problem now is when I try to create an individual report for each folder, for some reason when I specify a report for a subfolder, that subfolder disapears from the parent folder report, is there any way to work around this ?

Thanks, Pablo

Add "AlwaysWithSubfolders=1" line into [Reports] secion of the hostmon.ini file and restart HostMonitor.

Alex, I'm almost done, I've decided to go thru the Reports generated via HMScript
However I've found that this script does not behaves the way I think it should.

SetCurrentFolder Root
IncludeSubfolders yes

CreateReport "CP" c:\temp\testhm\cust_report.htm
CreateReport "Compact" c:\temp\testhm\%Folder%.htm

This HMScript creates the CP profile report on c:\..\cust_report.htm fine.
the 2nd line creates the "Compact" profile report on c:\...\Reports.htm because "Reports" is the name of the folder where the test that launches this HMScript resides.
Is this by design ? is this a bug ?
is there any way to workaround this ?

Thanks, Pablo

BTW, Everyday I find a new use for your program, it's simply superlative.
