set Use normal status if "reply" value

[itelio]

Hello,

I would like to set a "normal" status for certain reply values.

A reply value would be for example in QNAP Health Status

Volume [Single Disk Volume: Host Drive: '3.5" SATA HDD 3'] status Global Spare

If is set to "Use normal status if"

("%SuggestedReply%"=="Volume [Single Disk Volume: Host Drive: 3] status Global Spare")

then the message comes back from the RMA: Invalid expression: ConditionEval: Unknown operator: "SATA"

I would also like to classify the return value as "normal".

358:Power Supply 3 Unknown Power Supply 4 Unknown

(Whereby the number at the front unfortunately always changes)

Use normal Status if: ("%SuggestedReply%"=="*Power Supply 3 Unknown Power Supply 4 Unknown") unfortunately does not work.

Am I missing something here?

How can I generally classify a longer "reply" message as "normal"?

Thanks

HostMonitor supports single and double quotation marks for expressions.
If you have some string (e.g. reply) with single quotation marks, you may use double quotation marks for expression, like "%SuggestedReply%"
If you have some string (e.g. reply) with double quotation marks, you may use single quotation marks for expression, like '%SuggestedReply%'

Unfortunately this string contains all possible quotation marks so it will not work regardless of expression
Volume [Single Disk Volume: Host Drive: '3.5" SATA HDD 3'] status Global Spare

May be you can rename volume on target device? E.g. remove " after 3.5, then use '%SuggestedReply%' variable with single quotation marks.

Hi Alex,

thanks for the answer.
I will rename the volume as a test because there are really a lot of quotation marks in here.

For the second example.
Is it possible to specify the "Reply" value with a placeholder?

("%SuggestedReply%"=="*Power Supply 3 Unknown Power Supply 4 Unknown")
--> if, for example, "Power Supply 3" occurs then set normal status?

("%SuggestedReply%"=="*Power Supply 3*")

With " * " I can also exclude services from the check using placeholders.

There is operator IN
("Power Supply 3" in "%SuggestedReply%")

BTW: HostMonitor offers context sensitive help system (over 700 pages), just press F1 when "warning" expression field is selected and you will see the answer to all questions
