This is a feature i would very much like to see in HM.

I have configured two seperate tests for the end points of a tcp/ip connection. Can i create a third test that will go red when either of the above two tests goes red and then go back to green once both of the above two tests are green?

I will try using

('%::TestA::SimpleStatus%'=='UP') or ('%::TestB::SimpleStatus%'=='UP')

where TestA is the test name, right?

The keyword UP should be replaced by the value in the test response, like 1 or 2 or Ok, or is it a standard keyword?

I think you should use 'and' instead of 'or'

Right

Quote from the manul:
%SimpleStatus% - This macro can have one of the three text values:
- "UP" for all good statuses (Host is Alive, Ok);
- "DOWN" for all bad statuses (No answer, Bad, Bad Contents);
- "UNKNOWN" if status of the test is Unknown or Not Resolved.

Please read the manual.

Alex

I have configured these 3 tests

a ping test to 10.1.1.1-test a

a ping test to 10.2.1.1-test b

and a ping test to 10.1.1.13-test c

What i would like to do is to trigger test c if either of the a and b tests have %SimpleStatus% NOT UP

Is this the proper expression to use?

('%::test 10.1.1.1::SimpleStatus%'<>"UP") or ('%test 10.2.1.1::SimpleStatus%'<>"UP")

Cause it is not working

By the way, i don't think this post any longer qualifies for the wish list category

You missed :: before test 10.2.1.1

BTW for such simple conditions you may use list of tests instead of expression

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the tip. I corrected the expression but i am getting Waiting For Master status of the 3rd test while the other two have an UP status, although i have set the 'Host is alive' in the otherwise status field. Is this what i should be getting?

You forgot about "Synchronize status & alerts" option

Tried that also, doesn't work
I am trying it on both HM 5.70 and 5.38.

Would you like me to re-post the config?
