File/Folder size test

I am trying to produce a test which will count the size of a selected number of files/folders and add the total size together.

I have used the file/folder size test in the past but this time the folders are not subfolders of each other.

Thanks

Will

Sorry, HostMonitor does not offer built-in test for this purpose. You may create your own VB or Java script and use Active Script or Shell Script test method to launch your script
Active Script test method:

Shell Script test method:

OK I have written a vbscript which returns the folder size but it fails on certain directories (such as c:\wndows\) with a permissions error.

What user do these hostmonitor test run under on a remote machine ?

Remote machine? HostMonitor does not execute script on remote system unless you have selected some Remote Monitoring Agent (RMA) installed on remote system to perform this test. In such case script is executed by RMA (not HostMonitor) and it is started under account that was used to start RMA
