Hostmonitor inaccurate? Rounding up numbers?

Post by dogzilla »

I've noticed that host monitor is reporting inaccurate numbers.

For example I've got a test here:

Total Tests: 168020
Passed: 167980 (100%)
Failed: 40

That's not 100%.

Also:

Total Time: 686 days 09:07:41
Alive Time: 686 days 02:31:10 (100%)
Dead Time: 06:37:30

It's actually more like 99.97%.

What gives?

Looks like this information displayed by Info Pane?
Yes, it rounds numbers. Don't see any problem here, these numbers are not used for reports, alerts.

If you want to see more accurate numbers that are used for reports, just click menu User->GUI Preferences and mark "Alive %", "Dead %" items on Columns page in "User Preferences" dialog. Then you will see alive/dead statistics for each test item righ in Test Details Pane.
By default HostMonitor displays 2 digits after dot however this setting can be changed.
