... and looks like other customers do not need it (at least never asked about such option). Hi Alex, Understood, and we didn't need this either until recently. You may be aware of GDPR in the EU, which controls client data. A new directive called DORA covers system resilience. This requirement is a...

Hi Alex, I tried to attached an image of a sample use case where you can also see the %host% resolving :) Got an error "Could not upload attachment to ./files/2037_deb57b4475ac4a07bf984697ec1e5e3a." Test Name in the test has %object% on %host% The subject line of the email calls %testname%...

My idea would be a new macro that is placed immediately after an existing macro and takes the specified number of characters from the right or left of whatever the macro returns.

A macro to replace characters in certain positions might be useful too as in your earlier IP address example.

Hi Alex, On Version 9.5 %host% brings in the server name on the test. I tried %hostname%, and it does nothing. I'll test this on a later version in case this is version-related. My understanding is that if we use the CommentLine macro it would be the same as putting a manual name into the Testname f...

"Or you want to provide e-mail with reduced information about the problem? Do you want to get e-mail alert with message like "Disk failure on server 10.10.x.x in xxxoffice" instead of normal message "Disk failure on server 10.10.5.1 in LondonOffice"" Hi Alex, Yes, that'...

Ok. If I have a test looking at a server with the name "myWebServer1234" and I use %host% in the testname, when I look at the tests list I can see process x on \\myWebserver1234 In the email alert I can see the subject is " Alert 5432 Status Bad: Test for process x on \\myWebserver123...

Due to certain regulations it can happen that certain data from a macro used in the subject line or body of an email may breach a GDPR or DORA regulation. If it doesn't breach the regulation it may breach a client or customer policy. Can we get an option to print only part of a macro result? The ide...

Alex, I never said the problem is with Host Monitor. Host Monitor works fine and in fact we have been using your software for over 16 years with no issues. We run four separate installations at different sites and have been responsible for at least 2 referrals. What we are trying to determine is wha...

Hi Alex, The Service and Processes tests are examples of the problem but the issue affects all tests. We can set the tests up blind by adding exact names and paths so yes, typing the service name works. We have not tested file\folder tests completely but typing exact paths appears to work - the test...

Hi Alex, I've searched on similar but not making any progress. HM version is 9.50 running on 2008 R2 SP1 Target servers are Windows 2016 the HM service account is a Local Admin on the targets. The server HM runs on is also a local admin on the targets. We launch HM using RCC locally so it remains ru...

I guess there's no harm in it. The code is designed to find the oldest item in a queue so the test can measure its age in minutes and alert us if something has been hanging aroung for too long. Most of the code is translating the data from the time_stamp field from char to datetime. I've removed the...

Nothing too strange Alex - the code was generated by a colleague and passed to me as a notepad attachment within an email. initally I just copied and pasted the text straight from notepad and frustration ensued... The code was then copied into SQL Analyzer for testing as we started chucking away the...

Hi All, It looks like it's my understanding of how Host Monitor works. To get this query to work I had to remove all the carriage returns. HM does this as well but it isn't clever enough to put a space in place of the CR it has removed and so some lines get concatenated and cease to have a meaning a...

hi Alex, I've seen this error in the forum before but cannot find a solution to it. When running a SQL statement with an ODBC Query Test the following error is reported: Error 4294967295: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Prepared statement is not a cursor-specification In your response to uncleude...
