We have several devices being monitored for traffic monitoring. The warning is set to 5000 kb/sec. That is all working and has been for a while.
The problem I am having is I would like to setup so they show up as Warning at 2000, I have tried ("%Reply_Number%" > 2000 ) and it doesn't work.
It appears %Reply_Number% and %Reply_Integer% do not have the correct values, and it also appears those variables are not changing at all.
We are running 8.68c.
Is there something I missing or doing wrong ?
Thanks

Traffice monitoring and warning
Correct. These number are not changed by HostMonitor at this stage.It appears %Reply_Number% and %Reply_Integer% do not have the correct values, and it also appears those variables are not changing at all
Quote from the manual
===================
1) HostMonitor performs the test;
2) processes "Reverse alert" option;
3) sets "suggested" macro variables (%SuggestedStatus%, %SuggestedSimpleStatus%, %SuggestedReply%, %SuggestedRecurrences% and %FailureIteration%) without touching regular counters (%Status%, %Reply%, %Recurrences%, etc);
4) then HostMonitor evaluates "Warning", "Normal" and "Tune up Reply" expressions
5) and finally modifies current test status, reply field and statistics counters (Status, Reply, Alive%, Passed tests, Failed tests, etc).
===================
So you should use %SuggestedReply% variable.
Also '2000 KB' == 2048000, this means your expression should look like
'%SuggestedReply%' > 2048000
or
'%SuggestedReply%' > '2000 KB'
