can Ping test resolve host name ?

Hoping to do a ping test using an ip address and have HostMonitor put the DNS hostname in the comment field...is this possible ?
Can this be accomplished with a macro or script ?

Thanks in advance.

Its not possible.
However you may setup test using hostname instead of IP address

Really hoping to use IP addresses and the replicator to make tests for a whole subnet.

Can I do ping test and pull in snmp oid value into comment field ?...or does this need to be accomplished with two tests ?

Thanks again.

You can put anything in comment field. Comment is just a text field that may contain any information.
If you want to ping some host, use Ping test method. If you want to send SNMP Get request, use SNMP Get test method.
The same test cannot ping, request SNMP counter and check file size. You need 3 test items to perform 3 different checks
