I image it implemented with a checkbox on the device Info window. With this checked, the device will auto ACK when it goes 'down'. Useful if you monitor some hardware that does go down, due to turning it of (when leaving the office). --- end of quote --- Good idea. We've been thinking of a similar effect, although we had thought about it as a "maintenance mode". Here's how it might work: You'd set a bit on the particular device (or set of devices). InterMapper would continue to poll the device as usual. When the device went down (either because you went home for the night, or because you shut the system down for maintenance), InterMapper would detect that the device had gone down and make an entry in the event log, and perhaps color it a special way on the map. But no notification would be sent for the device, since it was pre-acknowledged/in maintenance mode. Is this what you envision? What color/representation might InterMapper use to show this state? I think it should be distinctive so you can easily notice it on-screen, but not intrusive (like blinking). Thanks!
