Log of alerts sent

[Guido39]

Is there a log available to check alerts that were sent? Last weekend we had a site go down and Hostmonitor logged that it went down but no one received alerts so I'm trying to figure out what happened.

Thanks.

I figured out how to turn this on but since this will greatly increase the log size, I tried changing it to a file with a date variable. Problem is it names the file the same as the variable.

I have specified the system log file to log in a different location of C:\HostMonitor4\Logs\%mm-dd-yy%.html. The file though gets logged as "%mm-dd-yy%.html" though instead of the current date.

1st question is traditional: what version of HostMonitor do you use?

how about his second ?
I use the current version but when I try to use the date varible my file ends up being named the varible also.

Should work fine. It works fine on our systems.
Are you sure you are using version 5.38?

Yes I just did the upgrade. Anyways I just changed the drop down to monthly logs and it does the same thing so I am fine.
