Sorry, bit of confusiuon there. The web page contains several screen shots of the various servers main screens. It is an icon on the software running on the server that changes color, the image on the webpage never changes it name.

If this is the case then a little bit of vbscript / perl and wget you should be able to download the page and the parse it for any red icons and then get the name from the image tag. Worth a try.

No, there is no visible change to the software other than the icon's color changeing. Mike >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/05/03 12:16PM >>> Does the window title of the application change? If so, you can use a program like Winbatch to monitor for certain window titles, like any that contain "My Program Name - Error" and have Winbatch do certain things that would trigger an SA alert. -------------------------------- Brent Ozar - UniFocus -------------------------------- "Kids, this is a message from your Uncle Billy.

My staff is so impressed with the capabilities of SA, I think they've done a little batty. They have asked me to look into the following scenario: We have many servers running a program, which when it recieves an error, turns a certain portion of the display red (an icon of a folder I believe). What we do now to speed up inspection of the servers, is use a bit of software to capture the screen display as an image, then display all of the images in a table on a web page. The images refresh every 5 minutes. The technician then just checks the webpage for any "red stuff" and then can go to the correct machine for inspection. Apperently turning the icon red is all that the software does to notify of an error. The question was: does anyone know of software that can inspect an image, and report on the properties? In this case I'd think that the percent of red in the image would go up. The concept would be to check against the % redness, and alert when it goes up. Any ideas that might steer me in the right direction? I would think a simple error level check would work (returns the % of a color for instance) Thanks!!!
