Bug sorting column if reply is text from a script

Post by terje »

I run a number of tests where the reply is a piece of text returned by a script. In the folders where I keep these tests I am not able to sort the tests by the reply field. I can sort other tests. And I can sort the script based tests by fields other than the reply field.

Is this a bug?

version 5.60 beta.

Its not a bug. Quote from the manual
Third optional part contains Reply value, HostMonitor displays this value in Reply field, writes to log files, uses to displays charts (Log Analyzer), etc. If you want Log Analyzer to process Reply values correctly and display charts, use one of the following formats for Reply value:
- decimal_number (like "123", "0", "6456.45". as decimal separator use symbol that is specified on your system, usually a dot (.) or a comma (,))
- decimal_number + space + "Kb" (like "512 Kb", "64 Kb")
- decimal_number + space + "Mb" (like "1024 Mb", "5 Mb")
- decimal_number + space + "Gb" (like "12 Gb", "4 Gb")
- decimal_number + space + "%" (like "50 %", "99 %")
- decimal_number + space + "ms" (like "100 ms", "5400 ms")
As you see it was not designed for text values.
But I think it can be improved...
