Sorry, we cannot reproduce the problem, so far... :(
Have you installed SP2 for Windows 2003? Microsoft fixed some important problems there.

It's already installed.
May be very much tests? Now it's 90 per second. But it's not HM limit...
And i had this problem on two servers with Win2003 Enterprise SP2 and Win2003 R2 SP2. Why HM popups error messages? Can i try any debug program? Do you have any special for HM?

And other question. If no other solutions to make 6.7x version works correctly.
I have no problem with 6.54 version. But in 6.7x i already have some new tests, alerts etc. Can i convert hml-files to 6.54 from 6.7x version?

Why HM popups error messages?
Good question. If we know the answer, we would fix the problem.
Ok, we know why HostMonitor shows the message - it shows error because Windows API CreateThread function fails http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682453.aspx

So, question is why it fails? Quote from Microsoft
The number of threads a process can create is limited by the available virtual memory. By default, every thread has one megabyte of stack space. Therefore, you can create at most 2028 threads. If you reduce the default stack size, you can create more threads.
According to your information
Uptime 8.5 hours.
Handles: 400-1100 (realy 500-700)
Threads: 21-230 (realy 50-70)
User Objects: 143
GDI Objects: 207
resource usage is normal.
Or may be not? I have reread previous posts: you have checked only User and GDI objects when HostMonitor crashed, however you did not say anything about threads and handles. Was it Ok?
What about total number of handles and threads on the system? You may use "\Process(_Total)\Handle Count" and "\Process(_Total)\Thread Count" performance counters.
Can i try any debug program? Do you have any special for HM?
1) I cannot give you source codes.
2) This probably would not help much. I even don't know what exactly to debug in this case. Is there some memory leak without real leak? Like memory fragmentation :roll: H'm... we can try to add some built-in memory block analyzer... or we can try to use non-standard memory manager. BTW we already used 3rd party memory manager in version 6.08 Beta and it worked great on our system. But somebody reprorted stange problems that we could not explain so we switched back to standard memory manager in version 6.10
http://www.ks-soft.net/cgi-bin/phpBB/vi ... c&start=15

We can try to create special version for you using different memory manager... Unfortunately this does explain why version 6.54 works :(
So, we are out of theories. If you have some, please let us know
But in 6.7x i already have some new tests, alerts etc. Can i convert hml-files to 6.54 from 6.7x version?
I think you may use Export/Import function to copy new test items from new file to old one.

6.75 version is works with same errors.
I changed test interval of some tests and made to check many SNMP tests by RMA (not by HM). Now estimate load is 79 tests per second. And "Consider status of master test obsolete after" was seted to 60 seconds.
And i see no errors for 3 days long.
As i told i have perfomance counter log for time when HM was crushed. I can send this log for you.

RMA does not use Windows API to perform SNMP Get tests, it uses our own code. We plan to do the same trick in next version of HostMonitor - no Windows API, use our inhouse code to support SNMP v1, v2c, v3 (without encryption yet).
Will see how it work.

Yes, please

This is for tests items only. What about alert profiles, mail profiles and global macro variables?

You may simply copy MailList.lst and udvmacro.lst files (format was not changed).
Alert profiles? H'm.. you should modify it manually
