Monitoring dynamic IP without dynamic dns

rolf · Post by **rolf** » Mon Jun 20, 2005 4:04 pm

I have several servers I need to monitor that have dynamic IP addresses. I already have Elegant Logic’s Keep Me Posted running and sending the IP addresses to a file I can access from the PC running Host Monitor. Can I parse that file and retrieve the IP address inside it, then run tests against that server?

Thanks, Rolf.

H'm.. its a problem. The only solution I see - use some script to create import file (e.g. www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/examples/import1.htm). Then you may setup additional test that will check file for update (I think you may use File Integrity test method) and start HMScript to import new test settings. See "Execute HM Script" action (ImportFromFile command): www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/actions.htm#actScript
