I like the dashboard - we host data for a number of clients. Each solution includes a web layer, application and database along with routers DNS etc. I would like to make the dashboard for a particular client available to only that client. I can put all the tests into a single folder for each client then I would like to make a link off a page so they can view "Their DASHBOARD" and see only their items. Each client would get a slightly different view of their infrastucture and see possible problems with the back ends and the statistics related to their application, sort of an SLA monitor.
Thanks

Hi,
I had the same problem, and Alex gave me the solution.
This is my setup:
Client1
+ Site1
+ Server1
+ Server 2
+ Site2
+ Server1
+ Server 2
Client2
+ Site1
+ Server1
+ Server 2
+ Site2
+ Server1
+ Server 2
What I did is this:
on each Client folder, I've enabled a report (rightclick the folder) that generates a full report for that client
For each subsite and server i did the same...
BUT ! the trick is to add this line to hostmon.ini under the [Reports] section:
AlwaysWithSubfolders=1
this will allow a report tu include the subfolders even when there is another report in the subfolder...
hope this is clear for you and that it helpes

Not a problem. Each folder have Report settings ("Reports" page in the "Folder Properties" dialog).I would like to make the dashboard for a particular client available to only that client
You need to use "AlwaysWithSubfolders=1" option only in case you want separate reports for each customer PLUS you want another common report for entire test list. If you add this option into hostmon.ini file, you should restart HostMonitor.
