Hi,
I have over 50 servers to test, with mainly the same testitems (diskspace, eventlog, ...)
I now have to change some parameters to one test, this means that I have to change over 50 tests.
It would be more convenient to create a template for a test (Like "DiskFreeC$", which checks the freespace on the c$ share)
Next I can create a test that uses that template. then only thing needed is the servername that need to be tested.
If we later decide that the treshold for the c$ is no longer 1Gb but 500Mb, then we don't have to change a lot of testsn just the template.
Do you think this will be implemented ?
regards
Pieter

Re: Create test as a template
I agree. We have a folder for each server, and many of the tests are the same. See screen shot:plambrecht wrote:It would be more convenient to create a template for a test (Like "DiskFreeC$", which checks the freespace on the c$ share)

For each folder/server, many of the tests are identical except for the computer name. We use the folder comment to store the actual computer name of the server.
I would like to be able to use the macros in the test properties. Then I could cut/copy/paste tests anywhere and they would test the server for the folder they are in. Like this:

I would also work for global variables.

Let me see how it works now:
Test Variables supported by test
---------------------------------------------
Filder/File size: UDV + Date
File/Folder availability: UDV + Date
File Compare: UDV + Date
Count Files: UDV + Date
Text Log: UDV + Date
ODBC Query: UDV
Active Script: All
Shell Script: All
---------------------------------------------
UDV- User defined variables
Date - Date&time variables
Yes, probably all macros should be supported...
