logging

[gdvl]

Hi,

Some questions (wishes?) about logging:
1) is it possible to "save only if host status changes" in the common log, and to "save all information" in the ODBC log ?
2) is it possible to use ODBC as a private log in the test properties ?
3) is it possible to log only if the reply is different from the previous reply ?

Why I need this ?
I use the common log for a quick view of history of alerts, but a SQL-based log for a complete long-time history reporting. (with for example crystal reports as report tool)

Regards,
Gert

1) is it possible to "save only if host status changes" in the common log, and to "save all information" in the ODBC log ?

Yes, you may set "save all information" option in the Options dialog and set "Brief" log mode for each test (it became possible in HM 3.68 or 3.70)

2) is it possible to use ODBC as a private log in the test properties ?

Possible solution: use some macro variable (e.g. %CommentLine5%)instead name of the table (e.g. use query like "insert into %CommentLine5% (eventtime, testname, ....) VALUES (%DateTime%, '%TestName%', ...)" when you specify SQL Query in the Options dialog). But you will need to assign name of the tables to all tests (as comment line).

3) is it possible to log only if the reply is different from the previous reply ?

Yes, use "Reply" log mode (Test Properties dialog)
