-----Original Message----- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:salive@woodstone.nu] On Behalf Of Dirk Bulinckx Sent: donderdag 21 november 2013 21:46 To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: RE: [SA-list] The feature you always wanted in Servers Alive but always were afraid to ask What can be done (and is not yet done :-)), is to have the %h,%p and %r vars within the checks. (we will have implement this for each check independantly). For %w (IP address) I will be able to do the following * if the IP is "known" we replace %w with the known IP * if the IP is not known we replace %w with the hostname (%h) I'll try to implement these changes over the weekend, hopefully for all checktypes.

The %w is however not known. This means that the 1st time a check is done we can't use %w as the IP address isn't known yet. Also the %h, %p and %r are known within SA but not within the COM checks, this means that we would have to convert the % parameters before the enter the COM part. Let me have a look at it and see if and how this can be done. dirk On Thu, 21 Nov 2013 15:15:46 +0100, Demeulemeester, Pieter wrote: > I manage 25 installation of SA.
