Ahh yeah so I found in hostmonitor the check for fixed date and time was set. I unset it so now its working again. thank you for this.

Hi Alex,

So Hostmonitor follows the date time settings used by the user account that runs the hostmonitor service?

Hi Support, We have a issue with inserting HM log data into our database. So we used to use the following insert query: INSERT INTO IT_Internal.DBO.HMLOG (TESTID, TESTNAME, STATUS, REPLY, EVENTTIME, RECURRENCES, TESTMETHOD) VALUES ('%TestID%', '%TestName%', '%Status%', '%Reply%', '%DateTime%', '%Rec...

Hi Alex,

Thank you for clarifying. Does migrating from Hostmonitor x86 to Hostmonitor x64 have a big impact on the existing tests? And could we maybe intall both versions on the same machine to test this?

Hi all, I have a specific ODBC connection to SAP HANA which requires me to use the 64bit ODBC to setup the connection with options that do not exist on the 32bit version of this ODBC connection. How can I use this 64bit ODBC connection with Hostmonitor, it does not show in the list. It only shows th...

Hi Alex,

We have now the MSSQL database operational but we noticed that a lot of logs are missing in the database. I assume some of the test get tested more frequently then Hostmonitor can write it to the database. Is there a log where I can check this?

Hi guys,

We are considering to store all monitoring results into a database. Since we need to build up this database from scratch, does anyone have a recommendations for a database structure? Eg. tables, columns etc.

Any input is appreciated.

Hi All, I try to check some contents of a internal site. But I struggle a bit with formatting the content. So the content I want to check is "Copyright @ 2024 SAP SE. All rights reserved.". When I load the page in the browser I can see its there, and from the browsers dev tools I can see i...

We just rechecked IMAP test with outlook.office365.com, got "Failed to verify key exchange signature" error. It worked before, probably Microsoft changed some encryption algorithms, so we need improvements again :roll: Regards Alex Ohh you beat me to it. I'll continue the search. If I fin...

Hi Alex, We run Windows Server 2019, so TLS1.3 is not supported. But still with TLS1.2 it should not be of any issue. Do you see the following lines in hostmon.ini? sslProtocols sslProto_POP3 sslProto_LDAP sslProto_IMAP These are not in my hostmon.ini file. Oh, you are using Explicit TLS option, I t...

Unfortunately no luck with that as well. We did some more digging and found loads of people with the same issue only on the IMAP protocol. To I think for now we will make a powershell script that does a similar test as the email relay test in HM. I got the impression that you guys don't like to supp...

By default POP3 and IMAP disabled in Outlook.com but you can enable it For us its a little different, we use Exchange Online and we enabled it there. Also we checked and the security defaults in our Entra ID environment are turned off. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/clients-and-mobile-i...

Outgoing SMTP:

TCP port is 993
TLS is set to Explicit

HM version is 14.54

Well yea I think Oauth is what they use these days. I tried the mail relay test as suggested, but I found its not working well. Sending the email works fine, but using IMAP to check the receiving email is not working. The test keeps saying "No answer" even tho the mail in in the inbox of t...

I disagree, you can subscribe to updates and then you can choose RSS. But its clear we need to find other ways to monitor this. Thank you anyway
