Scheduler not working

Post by Stefan »

Hello support,
with newest HostMonitor 14.96 (Windows Server 2016 Standard) I noticed that scheduler into "Options"-menu does not work correctly.
I want to use "daily" scheduling option. One daily time for ON and one daily time for OFF.

I prepared a Action profile with "on the schedule" condition and a SNMP SET command and configured two daily times (local timezone).
And set checkbox "time restriction: use schedule" for 24/7.
Unfortunately HostMon is not sending SNMP SET command at specified times. Independent if checkbox "Time restriction" is set or not.

Is there a way to see if SNMP SET command (Alert profile) will be executed? I can not see anything into syslog or somewhere else.

What's going wrong?
I hope someone can help me.

1) You don't need "time restriction" option. If you want to use this option, then check schedule using Schedules window. Schedule can be named "24/7" but someone could modify its settings so it restricts actions and tests.

2) Please wait till tomorrow. If you already played with these settings today, HostMonitor will not start action again, even if you change time to 12:30, 13:30, 15:30, etc. Action will be triggered tomorrow.

3) Check settings located on "HM system log" page in the Options dialog. May be this logging is disabled. May be you are using default settings (Record info about failed actions), this way successfully executed action did not write any record.

Regards
Alex

Hello Alex,
thanks for your informations.
Everything is OK now. Simply waiting to the next day was the solution :D

Maybe it would be helpful for other users to wrote a little note into online-manual
about the behaviour that scheduler will not start action again on same day.

Regards,
Stefan
