KS-Soft

Hey Alex! Thought I would check in. Been a while. Delighted to know HM is still highly regarded by those who use it. I retired a while back, I just want you to know that after using HM for 20 years, I consider it the single most valuable tool I worked with in my entire network admin career. your sof...

Alex, This seemed like the best thread to append my questions to. I have been given a VM instance running Win 2012 R2 (64 bit). My task was to migrate Host Monitor for a rusty old 2003 instance to this 2-12 server. The Host Monitor installation went fine. So did the migration from the VM running Win...

There are 100 factors to consider.... (omitted for brevity) Regards Alex I'd like to offer some perspective on this as a long-time customer. It's now been almost 10 years since I started using AHM (see my first post here ). I've now used it across all 3 employers that I've had during that 10 year p...

Under User | GUI preferences... | Columns, a wide assortment of columns are available for display in the Test Detail Area of the screen.

However, is it possible to display an arbitrary comment number here? For example, could I choose to display "CommentLine13"?

I've been asked to create the following test: There is a file tree that exists starting at: \\hostname\sharename\treeroot\.... When all systems are running correctly, one or more new files will be created SOMEWHERE in the tree roughly every 12 hours (though its name or exact position in the tree won...

Ahhh, the %mm%%dd% syntax does indeed work for URL-method! Being a long-time Host Monitor customer, I clearly understand the need to not break Host Monitor for current users. :wink: It's not clear to me if any other customers would find date macro expressions useful for URL-method tests. If I'm the ...

Alex, Just FYI, I just tried date macro alone without expression, ie. assets/images/anws%mmdd%.gif Wireshark still shows the date macro not being translated: GET /assets/images/anws%mmdd%.gif HTTP/1.1 This puzzles me because there is that checkbox labeled " Translate date macro variables "...

Hmmmm. Ok.

This "web server" is on a hosted service - so we cannot install RMA on the box where the file actually lives.

We can access the box via HTTP or via FTP/SFTP.

Can you suggest a possible alternative? Perhaps I could browse directory and search the output?

I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. It appears that my date macros are not being translated on my URL-method test. I have a URL-method test where the URL I'm checking includes embedded date information (month and day - ie. somefile 0522 .gif ) The basic test can be described as: "if an im...

Thank you! "Non-simultaneously test execution" is exactly what I needed!

I've been using Host Monitor for nearly 8 years. But I think it may be time for me to go back and re-read the user's manual again

It works great for our needs! Just 2 whois servers for all the domains and both work with your shell script! The only problem was that I shot myself in the foot when I enabled all the tests at once. This caused the remote WHOIS server to throttle me for a couple hours. So I went in and varied the ti...

Alex, Our company manages in excess of 250 domain names. There is no centralized/designated "domain person" - different departments have their own agendas. Inevitably, miscommunication results in domain names being allowed to expire when the shouldn't have. I've been asked if I can add exp...

Currently, we have 120 UDVs and I envision no more than 1,000 UDVs any time in the next year or two so I think we will be fine with current UDV dialog. And if we can eventually import a full UDV list from text, some occasional slowness there is no big deal.

Thank you very much!

Outstanding Alex! I replaced the original two files with the two new files you provided (Of course, I renamed the original files first - in case anything went wrong). Everything went smooth. This is exactly what I needed . I've just sent the extracted list of UDVs off to the people who need to know....

My first priority would be a simple "Copy All To Clipboard" in a pop-up. This would copy all udvs to clipboard in plain text as name,value pairs (one per line): udv_loc_tx_dfw,TX - Dallas/Fort Worth udv_loc_tx_hou,TX - Houston udv_loc_ok_okc,OK - Oklahoma City udv_loc_mn_msp,MN - Minneapol...
