I am attempting to set up a Multiping alert which will fire up Ping Plotter if a host meets a certain condition. I'm telling Multiping to execute the program: "pingplotter.exe /trace:$host" (I'm leaving the path out here).

When the conditions are met, Multiping launches Ping Plotter the way it's supposed to. However, if the host in question has a label (i.e. "192.168.1.1 This is Server 1") then Ping Plotter fails, because Multiping is apparently passing it the label rather than the IP address. What can be done to fix this?
