Posted: Tue Jan 25, 2005 9:00 pm Post subject: Rapid Screen Flashing when Sorting |
|
|
I have about 150 devices that I monitor with HostMonitor and prefer to sort them based on Alive %, Status Changes, then finally by Test Name.
However, using this sort method with an average test interval of 15 seconds, the screen flashes each time a test is preformed. I assume the flash is do to the resorting. The problem is when I am monitoring devices for an extended period of time the flashing becomes very annoying.
When I use the default sorting method of Test Name only, the screen doesn't flash as the status of each test is updated.
Is there a work around for this? |

We will improve sorting method in next version. But it will not help a lot. If you sort test items using some dynamic fields, HostMonitor must resort items every time test is performed.

We currently have ~2800 test with a load of 13 tests/sec.
We avoid this display issue by having a fairly robust test tree - several folders and subfolders. We try to limit tests in a single folder so that all tests for that folder will display on the screen at once.
Where that is not possible, we 'tweak' the name of the test to display in the order we choose.
Doing these things will avoid needing to sort dynamically 99% of the time. For the remaining 1%, we simply tolerate the re-draws. |

New version will resort items only once per second (if necessary). Looks fine

I installed the new version 5.0 beta and the screen flashing has been significantly reduced. Thank you! |
