When I open a log file (txt) into LogAnalyzer

I have 2 tests.
One ping and one other test on same ip.

Test: DNS test 1
Method: ping (timeout - 2000 ms)

17-11-2004 20:00:11 Host is alive 100 %
17-11-2004 20:00:30 Out of schedule
18-11-2004 7:00:00 Host is alive 100 %

Test: DNS test 2
Method: DNS test (***)

17-11-2004 20:00:11 Host is alive 0 ms
17-11-2004 20:00:32 Out of schedule
18-11-2004 7:00:00 Wait for Master
18-11-2004 7:01:00 Host is alive 0 ms

Altho this results in a 25.9% alive ratio for DNS test 2.
I dont understand why this isnt 100% ? since there werent any bads.
And I wouldnt consider wait for master a result of losing alive ratio ?

Explain to me if im wrong

Log Analyzer does not consider "WaitForMaster" time as "Alive" time. Because we actually don't know host is alive or dead.

If you want to completely ignore "WaitForMaster" time and calculate ratio as alive+bad+unknown=100%, there is undocumented option IgnoreWaitForMaster

Add "IgnoreWaitForMaster=1" line into [Flags] section of the logsman.ini file and restart Log Analyzer
