summary count of process on multiple servers

[custompcoutlet]

I have an individual test setup that connects to each server and gives us a count of the a specific process. I have all the tests in one folder and I am wondering if there is a way to sum together the replies from all the tests. Theoretically, this will give me an accurate count of the number of licenses we are currently using for this application at any given time.

Here is a little more background. There are currently 6-7 servers that run this application and each time a user connects a new process is started. Each process requires a license and when all licenses are used, the next user gets an error message. I would like to be more proactive and know when this is happening before the users complain.

hope this makes sense, let me know if I need more clarification.

I have seen some documentation on Macros for folders, but not finding any macro for %reply% count

Thanks in advance for any ideas. We are know to host monitor, but loving what we find we can do.

If these tests return just numbers, you may setup one additional test (e.g. Ping 127.0.0.1) with Tune up Reply value option enabled and expression like the following:
[%::TEST_1::Reply_Integer%+%::TEST_2::Reply_Integer%+%::TEST_3::Reply_Integer%]
where TEST_1, TEST_2 and TEST_3 are names of your test items that return process count.

Took me a bit to understand that, but in the end I got it. Thanks for the pointer, I don't think I would have thought of that as a solution.

Again, thanks
