Execute HMS Script with a bat file?

[mp1]

Hi,

Is there a possibility to execute a Hms script with a bat file?

In this case, we want to disable all alerts with a bat file, is there any chance?

Thanks in advance

Sorry, there is no such an option. However, you may execute HMS script on a regular basis using "built-in" Scheduler ("Options" -> "Scheduler").

If you explain your needs, we can provide more options.
Basicaly its not a problem to disable alerts automatically. E.g. your BAT file may set some flag (create a file), HostMonitor may check for this flag on regular basis (e.g. you may use File/Folder Availability test method) and start HM Script. Also you may use Telnet Service and telnet client that may process simple scripts.

Question is how you can enable alerts once they are disabed? Probably its better to use PauseAlerts command instead of DisableAlerts?

We have sometimes the problem, that some webservers run amok, and then we get hundreds of sms, although I have configured, that a sms will only be send after 3 bad and 3 good tests - maybe I will increase this value.

We have our own simple application, where we can execute programms with our handy . We send a sms to our gateway and this will execute a bat file.
So my idea was a script to disable the alerts, when the "hostmonitor" run amok.

Also you may use Telnet Service and telnet client that may process simple scripts.

I already tried with "Expect", had no success until now, although I will have a further look on it. Or do you have any other programm for telnet scripts?

hundreds of sms? Do you mean all your servers fail at the same time? Then I assume there is some network problem. I would suggest to setup additional Master test to check network status and setup webserver checks as dependant test items.

I think you may modify BAT file a little, it may set some flag (create a file), then you may setup HostMonitor to check for this flag on regular basis using "File/Folder Availability" test method and start HM Script when file is present and newer than 10 min (for example).
