Custom / Table output / Sort order???
I'm using custom scripts to monitor certain services on the local machine.
Tried to use 'normal' output using String attributes and Numeric Attributes but ME-AM seems to randomly ignore values in the output file. Each time I try to recreate the monitor some values are picked up, others not. Seems still very buggy!
I tried the new table-out feature instead it this seems more stable, at least it picked up all the rows in the table, but instead the sort order of the columns seems random!! The first time I tried it it got i correct, I have 3 columns in the table, Name, Response time and Correctness. Name is the unique String attribute, Correctness is either yes or no and Response time is the Numeric attribute.
I want the coulmns to be ordered as Name, Response time, Correct, same order as in the output (input?) file. But ME-AM seems to ignore this. Tried with diffrent names, but doesnt help, it now always chooses the numeric value column to be the first one, and then radomly either Name or Correct.
Isn't there a way to define this? What is the logic behind this? How does ME-AM select which columns to show in what order? Is it possible to modify this directly in the DB?
The problem is that I want to specifiy several diffrent custom monitors, with the same column names in each monitor, but I don't want to have several tables with diffrent sort orders of the column names.
Between, the row-sort order is always the same as in the file thank god ;)
