Hi Alex, You beat me to it! :lol: Fresh start in the morning, got it to work. 8) To do a DNS blacklist check, create a DNS test with the following settings: - Server: any working DNS server (I used 8.8.8.8 ) - Query (for spamcop): <reversed IP to check>.bl.spamcop.net - In 'Optional Status Processin...

Hi Alex, The DNS blacklists return an IP address based on a reverse query. If you wanted to know if 11.22.33.44 was blacklisted with Spamcop, the nslookup query would be: NSLOOKUP 44.33.22.11.bl.spamcop.net I can't seem to translate that to the DNS test in HM Must be missing something (again.. :lol: )

Hi!

Do you think it is possible to use the DNS test to query DNS blacklists?
And if so, could you please point me in the right direction for settings?

Thaaaaanks!

Thanks for your reponse, Alex.

What I will do instead, is whip up a powershell script to scrape the eventlog for 4625 events and if found, send the email message to the user + set test status to warning.
That'll do as well

Thanks for inspiring

Hi all, I have a test that checks Windows event logs for OWA login failures (event ID 4625). In that test, I extract some useful details with a tune-up like this: if ("%SuggestedStatus%"=="Bad") [substr("%SuggestedReply%",indexof("%SuggestedReply%","Accou...

Hi everybody, As I'm just a few months away from being a retired old fart, I just wanted to take a moment to show my appreciation to the KS-Soft team. For many many years, HostMonitor has been my to-go-to solution for monitoring all sorts of stuff on the infrastructures I have been responsible for. ...

Ok ok. got it

Suppose I have been lucky all the time for the test working with my dodgy use of syntax hehehehe

Hi Alex,

Your solution works.
However, I'm still puzzled on how this has worked until the 14.01 update.

Anyway, thanks for helping me out once again...

Have a good one!

An actual test (not a ShellScript btw): Windows Performance Counter (Exchange Queue size): \MSExchangeTransport Queues(_total)\External Aggregate Delivery Queue Length (All External Queues) --> The test returns a 2-decimal numeric value (e.g. 0.00 or 7.00 or whatever...) Use warning if expression: %...

Hi guys, Just updated to 14.01 Several test that have a 'Use "Warning" status if..' setting now give errors like: Invalid expression: ConditionEval: Unknown operator: followed by the condition value itself. These are Shell scripts, returning a value from the script, either a string or nume...

I don't get it then. I have a test that calculates the sum of logged on users on 5 rds hosts, which gives a number of somewhere between 150 and 200 during office hours. Looking at the data somewhat closer, it seems that the values for the log analyzer are being stored around midnight. Are those the ...

Example: I have a test that calculates and displays the sum of 5 other tests as tuned up value. So first I created a ping test to the HM server itself, just to have a 'parent' test. Then, in the tuned up value I calculate the sum of the 5 other tests. Now, in the log analyzer, the ping response time...

Hi guys, I use the History/Performance charts quite frequently. One thing I run into every now and then is the 24-month limitation. Sometimes it is handy to be able to have a chart that goes back further. I tried the log analyzer, but for 'Tuned Up' tests it shows the actual values, not the tuned up...

Hi Alex, This is the case: We use TeamViewer to give external consultants access to our servers. This is on a per-request basis. We have a test on each server that monitors the presence of the TeamViewer process. Once it is detected, we acknowledge it with the reason. Then, it is no longer 'BAD', be...

Hi Alex,

Unfortunately, that doesn't work either.
It looks like when it changes to 'WARNING', the %AckRecurrences% are reset as well, making it 'BAD' again... and so on
