Daily status mails?

Daily status mails? - 12/17/09 01:49 PM

Is it possible to have a daily status mail from the program that contains a graphic of the past 24 hours for each IP being looked at?

Maybe a .png of the summary screen like the web server shows, only instead of the "current" ping times, the graph would show the past 24 hours?

I didn't see anything in the extensions area, but then, the ex claims I'm blind. smile


Cheers,

We've not built a script to do that inside PingPlotter, but try this and let us know how it goes (these instructions are a "general guideline" not specific steps).
  • Extract the attachment from this post.
  • Open the "Send Summary Email.vbs" script that you just extracted in your favorite text editor.
  • Edit the script on lines 32 and 33 for the "From" email and "To" email.
  • Edit the script on line 24 for your email server.
  • Edit the script on line 28 for your SMTP server port.
  • Test it (double click it in Windows Explorer).
  • Schedule it (http://www.nessoft.com/kb/60 for an example of instructions on scheduling a vbscript file)

Thanks! I had to change the objEmail to objMessage, but other than that, it works like I wanted it to. Now we'll see if I goofed up scheduling it with Windows Scheduler. wink
