hi together.

i want to resolve the following problem:

on my server i want to receive a sms when the internet connecting is down. this works very good. i configure a test how is pings a external server and when the ping is bad it sends a sms. now the problem ist when the server where i ping is down, i receive a sms :sad:
is it with hostmonitor possible to install 2 same tests an when both tests fails so i receive the sms?

thanks a lot

So, you want to ping 2 servers and send SMS when both servers dead?
You can create 2 ping tests: TestA and TestB. Set TestA as master test for TestB using "Perform test when Master test has dead status" option and assign action profile that sends SMS to TestB only. In this case HostMonitor will perform TestB (ping server B) only in case server A does not answer and start action only when both servers do not answer.

Could you please send HML file with test, actions.lst, schedules.lst, and hostmon.ini files to our address line1@ks-soft.net?
It will be much easier to understand what's wrong.

SMS - Short Message Service. The Short Message Service is the ability to send and receive text messages to and from mobile telephones.
How to send SMS from HostMonitor? There are several methods, please check FAQ http://www.ks-soft.net/cgi-bin/phpBB/vi ... .php?t=614
