I'm trying out UltraMon, and I think it's great. Just one problem I can't seem to manage.
To report changes, I have a voice announcement (script) set whenever a monitored device changes status.
I soon realized the repeated announcing of failed pings (trouble, trouble x1, trouble x2...) to my office computer when I shut it down for the night was too much, so I've set my settings in UltraMon Options as follows:
Check Interval = 3 minutes
Attempts = 1 time
Mark failed after = 1 time
Ping Timeout = 2 sec
HS was restarted whenever I made config changes.
However I am still getting beatin over the head with announcements. For example, I have just switched off my office PC and have received the following announcements:
What's very peculiar is that UltraMon is reporting the Toshiba Camera is troubled, yet the event that is run is the Office-pc announcement. The voice announcements are always reporting troubled events five times when I shut down the office-pc. Yet as the log above shows, it's a bizzare sequence of "troubled", "offline", "troubled {x1 thru x5}", then another "offline" whenever I power the pc down. I have confirmed the triggers for both events are correct and unique, and each device of course has a different IP address.
Does this make any sense?
