"Warning" is shown as "bad" after first

[mpedersen]

I have installed version 6.75 and are using the Hostmonitor for the below:

If you setup a test with "Use Warning status if ("%Status%"=="Bad")" the first time the status is "bad" the monitor show status "bad" insted of "warning". Second time the test executes, the status is shown correctly as "warning".

If you setup a test with "Use Warning status if ("%Status%"=="Bad")" the first time the status is "bad" the monitor show status "bad" insted of "warning". Second time the test executes, the status is shown correctly as "warning".

I would suggest you yo use following expression:

Code: Select all

 ("%SuggestedSimpleStatus%"=="DOWN")

I have same issue with v6.54 (I know it is not the newest, yes I have:

Use "Warning" status if: ("%StatusID%"==10)
Use "Normal" status if: ("%StatusID%"==01)

Every second test, this does not work, e.g. I get like Normal,Host is alive, Normal,Host is alive

Every second test, this does not work, e.g. I get like Normal,Host is alive, Normal,Host is alive

%SuggestedXXX% variables were designed to avoid such issues. We recommend to use %SuggestedXXX% variables (%SuggestedStatus%, %SuggestedSimpleStatus%, etc) in "Warning/Normal" expressions.

==================
IMPORTANT note: HostMonitor checks logical expressions after test check is done and "reverse alert" option is processed.
I.e.

* HostMonitor performs the test;
* processes "Reverse alert" option;
* sets "suggested" macro variables (%SuggestedStatus%, %SuggestedSimpleStatus%, %SuggestedReply%, %SuggestedRecurrences% and %FailureIteration%) without touching regular counters (%Status%, %Reply%, %Recurrences%, etc);
* then HostMonitor evaluates "Warning" and "Normal" expressions and finally modifies current test status and statistisc counters (Status, Reply, Alive%, Passed tests, Failed tests, etc).
