Bombarded by Alerts when Scheduled monitoring time starts

[shereec]

OS version - Windows 2000 Server SP4

HostMonitor version – 4.74

We have created a scheduled time for all servers to be monitored between the hours of 07:00 - 21:00 7 days a week.

Administrators were receiving alerts every morning at 07:00 when the tests start , so I then edited all alert profiles: ticked on Time restriction - use schedule as above for both good and bad status actions as well as ticking on "Action depends on 'bad' one".

Administrators are still being bombarded with alerts at 07:00. Could someone please tell me what other settings I could implement?

, sorry. Knew I'd forget something.

The alerts are all "good". Which is great, but the administrators don't really want to receive these when the system starts up in the morning.

Should I change the good alerts to "start after " 2 consecutive good results occur?

I'll itemise the "good status action"

"Condition to start action"

Send email (or Send data to TCP/UDP port)
Standard mode
Start when 1 consecutive "good" results occur
Repeat 1 time(s)
Time restriction: use schedule "7 Days, 07:00 - 21:00"
Action depends on "bad" one "Send email" (or Send data to TCP/UDP port)


"bad status action"
Similar to above except for
Start when 2 consective "bad" results occur

H'm...
Could you send your settings to support@ks-soft.net?
We need HML file with tests, all *.LST files and hostmon.ini file

I cannot reproduce problem
HostMonitor does not reset Recurrences counter when test changes status to "OutOfSchedule". This way it does not start alerts when test comes back to "alive" (Alive->OutOfSchedule->Alive).

May be you have started several instances of HostMonitor? E.g. one instance started as service, another as application; you changes settings for application but service was started long time ago and still using old settings. Is that possible?
