Cascading logs vs not cascading logs

Post by Quantum »

I have setup a few reports on my root folder to give me a total overview report.

However I have noticed that if I turn off the inherit option on some of the folders lower down so that they can have their own reports that these folders stop appering in the overview report.

Any way to sort this out ?

EDIT: I am talking about the scheduled reports by the way.

Correct

There is undocumented option - add "AlwaysWithSubfolders=1" line into [Reports] section of the hostmon.ini file and restart HostMonitor.

Waaw... I was looking for this for a while :-)
I tried this settings, but it doesn't seem to work...
I have a dashboard report on a folder with a lot of subfolders.
Then I have a report on each 1th folder.

Maybe a typo in the name ?

I'm using HM 4.70 as Service (restarted the service) on a W2K3

No, name is correct. Have you restarted HostMonitor after ini file modification?
Also how you create reports? On regular interval (using Options dialog or Folder properties)? Or you create reports using "Generate reports" action? Or you are using HM Script?

Yes. Stopped and started the service

The report is created every 5 minutes by settings on the folder itself. No HM script is used. It is a custom report (dashboard style)
