I run the web service on a machine here in the office, and the main HostMonitor application on a remote machine. My question is: is there a way to reduce the bandwidth usage of the web service without stopping any tests? Maybe a method of reducing the update frequency or something? I've noticed that...

Thanks.

That works absolutely perfectly.

That would be absolutely perfect - thanks Alex!

I have set up a test page in IIS on around 40 machines that is checked by Hostmonitor via HTTP. When this test fails, I want Hostmonitor to restart IIS on the machine that failed. I get the result via an HTTP test. Is there a macro variable I can use with the restart service action that matches the ...

Well, yeah - but this makes the dashboard totally useless to us.

More or less, yes, just to check some reply value - so that we can use host monitor as a central data-collection point to monitor things instead of it just being an alert system.

I would be very happy with the option to choose that bad status for certain tests show up as 'good' or 'unknown' - maybe a little drop down menu or something. Like a "Treat bad status as..." option.

I would also be very interested in a function like this.

Thanks Alex, where can I find that?

Another solution that may solve my problem is a method to only show something 'bad' on the dashboard if there are more then (say) 12 event log items in an hour (or something like that).

Well, the issue is that it shows up as red on the dashboard, when it's not really an alert - I'm looking for a way to make certain tests show always 'ok' or 'unknown' and never 'bad'.

There are some things that we need a log of that aren't necessarily 'alerts' - the login failures are a good example of this, we get dozens per day, but it's only a concern if it spikes on a certain day (or similar). AHM reports an error at one failure, which leads to a whole lot of alerts that shou...

Will this cause it to show up as 'ok' on the dashboard via the Web Service?
