The HostID is not used for the RRD graphs. The HostID is only usefull for the numeric paging, it's a numeric represenatation of the entry. One that you as user can create/edit/ And it does not have to be unique The uniqueID is as the name says it unique. A ctrl-D of an entry will indeed dupl

My issue started with a total disregard for the host id's in general, compounded by frequent check duplication. (for instance, I have 8 servers for Citrix. I created the checks for the first then duplicated for the other 7.) The trick, I have learned, is that when you duplicate a check, (with CTRL

I use Host IDs to do just that - id a host. Each host gets a unique ID and all checks for that host use the same ID. This becomes very useful when using the interchange file to generate reports. I guess you could have SA check to make sure each first level check has a unique host ID but I'm n

Dirk, I have had a hard time resolving duplicated host-id's in the past. Is there an option that I can enable or can you add an option in the setup window to enable or disable a verification upon saving of the checks to ensure (or allow) duplicated host id's? Is there a reason to allow dupplicat

We are sure that the option of the 2 proxies work :-)  (try it with an unexisting proxy and you'll see that you will get a down)   The GET that is done includes a "Pragma: no-cache", so this means that we "ask" the proxy not to get the page from the cache.   We have direct plans to add more

Dirk, Quite a few of my availability stats report as 200%. Whilst I'm sure that my pointy haired boss will be delighted at how efficient it appears that we are, I'm somewhat suspicious... Any ideas? Is this a known problem? What period of time does the availability stat reflect? (I have a feelin
