Hi,

Is it possible to replace the "Host is alive" with "Good" and "No answer" with "Bad" throughout the application?

Thanks,
IX

No.
1) Actually there is no "good" status. When we say "good" status we mean any of "Host is alive", "Ok" or "Normal" statuses.
2) You cannot set predefined statuses by yourself
3) However you may set Normal or Warning status using "Optional status processing" options

Got it. I just wanted to use consistent terminology and always say "Ok", "Bad" or "Unknown" and was hoping I can somehow make HostMonitor use "Ok" instead of "Host is alive" and "Bad" instead of "No answer".

Not a big deal, the users will get used to all the different terms

Thanks.

Well, usually there is big difference between "Bad" and "No answer". E.g. "Bad" status returned by URL test method means your web server is alive, it does receive TCP packets, it does send some response (e.g. page not found). "No answer" means there is no reponse at all.

Understood (and agreed), thanks!
