Help with warning status expression

oryagel · Post by **oryagel** » Sun Jul 21, 2013 8:16 am

Hi,

I'm trying to create alert according to the difference between the current replay and the previous reply.

I tried without success.
For instance: ['%SuggestedReply%' - '%SuggestedLastReply%'] > 10

I always get "Unknown operator"

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Should be ('%SuggestedReply%' - '%Reply%') > 10

Regards
Alex

Thanks

Can you please explain the difference between the 'Suggested...' variables and the 'regular' variables?

(Or refer me to the manual)

HostMonitor sets Suggested variables, then checks expressions, then sets regular variables.

Quote
I.e.
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 and finally modifies current test status, reply field and statistics counters (Status, Reply, Alive%, Passed tests, Failed tests, etc).
