Is there a way to monitor Host Monitor itself from another Host Monitor, or cross check each other

1. You may use Service Test to check HostMonitor Service
2. You may use TCP test to check RCI port (TCP port 1054 by default), used by HostMonitor (Options > PCI page). If HostMonitor accepts connection, it works.
3. You may schedule HostMonitor (Options > Schedules) to write specific record into text file and use Text Log method of second HostMonitor to check if such file is up to date.
4. You may schedule HostMonitor to perform some action (e.g send Email, write record into EventLog, etc.) every N minutes
