Folder/File Size test: round error

Post by bbackx »

I'm checking the size of a folder which contains the exchange first storage group.
This goes fine, but the test rounds it to 1GB.
E.g.: the size is 4,34GB, but hostmonitor gives me 4GB.
Is there a way to give some more detail, don't let the test round to GB?

Normally HostMonitor uses MB units for folder/files smaller than 9GB.
If it shows 4GB instead of 4340 MB, I assume you have modified SizeUnitThreshold parameter.
There is undocumented" option: SizeUnitThreshold. It defines threshould for units (KB->MB->GB). E.g. default value for this parameter 9, it means HostMonitor changes unit to MB when file size is over 9MB, it changes unit to GB when size > 9GB, etc.
If you add line "SizeUnitThreshold=999" into" [Misc]" section of "hostmon.ini" file and restart HostMonitor, monitor will display '616731 MB' instead of '602 GB'.
