Minor bug

There is a typo in the script manager. When you look under the "lets try" tab it says "temeout" instead of "timeout". This is in HostMonitor 6.42.

Shell Script

Is it possible for macros to work with a shell script? I am trying to make a simple script like the following: REM copy source destination copy %1 %2 exit I want %1 = c:\*.* I want %2 = c:\Archive%YYYYMM%\ If I put those values in place of %1 and %2 then the %YYYYMM% just disappears.

Performance Counters

I have an odd behavior with some performance counters I am logging. I have 34 counters on a schedule to log for 2 hours in the morning, every 5 seconds. The odd this is that at the end of the 2 hours I should have 1440 total tests for each counter. ( 12 test/min * 60 min/hr. * 2 hrs. = 1440) The odd...

Macros

When specifying a macro for a specific test, %::TestName::Macro%, allow the use of the TestID in place of the TestName, %::TestID::Macro%. The test name is a transient description that can change at any time. It would be nice to tie to the test ID so I don't need to worry about how changing a test n...

Thanks for the help. What is the syntax for the %::LoadBalancer::SimpleStatus% macros? I see how %SimpleStatus% works, but how is it prefixed? Is LoadBalancer the TestName? What happens when tests have the same name? Is it the TestID? Does it need to reside in the same folder? Sorry for the simple q...

Thanks, I was just curious if I could define a table with TestName varchar(50), and know that I wouldn't have to worry about an exception getting thrown because TestName couldn't be over 50. I guess I will do something like SUBSTRING('%TestName%', 1, 50) for inserts into the log in case anyone puts ...

Application Uptime

I want to have a test that will show the uptime for my application on a monthly basis. I'm new, and I'm not sure how to do something like this. The application is web-based, and spans 6 servers with some load balancing so I need a test to perform the following criteria: At least 2 out of the 3 webse...

ODBC field sizes

I am new to Host Monitor, and I have a question:

When I am setting up a table for an ODBC log. What size do I make the fields? I am doing columns like TestName, Status, Reply, TestMethod. Where can I find the max size of the associated macros?
