I want to use HM for metric reporting. If I have a server that I am monitoring (ping) and a router goes down between the HM server and the server that I am monitoring, it looks like the server was down too according to the alive % field. I tried setting up the “This test depends on” option, but the alive % time continues to decreases while waiting for the master to resume. Is there a way to stop alive % field from decreasing while waiting for master to become available again?

Thanks in advance!

Quote from the manual:
Quote:
Synchronize counters
This option only applies to tests that have one or more master tests. When the option is turned off, and some test is not being launched because its launch condition has not been met, HostMonitors simply marks such a test with the "Wait for Master" status and does not change any counters. If, however, the option is turned on, HostMonitor will update statistics information accordingly to the Master test status. Thus, if a router on which other tests depend has been tested to a "No answer" status, HostMonitor will increment respective counters (like "Dead time", "Failed tests", etc) for router and for all dependent tests with the "Synchronize counters" option on.

Regards
Alex
