My mail profiles are a mess

Hi

I currently have 100 tests running each with 2 mail profiles. 1 for failure and 1 for recovery. So obviously 200 different mail profiles. The problem is that they are all in one place, is there any way that i can place them in different folders i.e. Harddisk emails, server emails, coldfusion emails. If there is, then is there anyway i can do this without having to reassign each profile to each test.

Also is there anyway that these emails can be generated automaticaly. e.g. Coldfusion on ....... has failed to respond and is being restarted.

Cheers

niloyb,

200 profiles? Why do you need 200 profiles? You may use macro variables in mail body.
http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... .htm#macro
It means you do not need to create action profile or mail template for each test. You may use just several templates, e.g. one template with detailed technical information for network administrator, another template with detailed statistical information for manager.

>Also is there anyway that these emails can be generated automaticaly. e.g. Coldfusion on ....... has failed to respond and is being restarted.

Emails are generating automaticaly, you just need to create template. When HostMonitor executes action it substitutes test parameters instead of macro variables.

cheers Alex

This seems to be working very well. You live and learn.

One other thing. When you use %StatusChangedTime% is there any way to reverse the order, i.e. time then date, not date then time?
