To validate that my ping service works, I added a bogus hostname and am expecting to see red or yellow indication.
C:\>ping bogus
Ping request could not find host bogus. Please check the name and try again.
1: is this message logged in the HQ server's directory somewhere?
2: How does the HQ plugin know that this is not a correct response, I don't see any criteria that I am checking the respponse string against.
Sorry for all these questions, but HQ might be exactly what we need and I have tried quite a few monitoring tools so far. Sttill have to sort out web services, DB2 ping, SNMP alerting, Business Object and MetaMatrix integration but getting there.
Thanks for a promising solution for our needs.
