Well, Chris, I unfortunately inherited the What's UP Gold server and the person who first implemented did not organize it too well. He created one map via a hosts file and did not break the devices out in any kind of order. I am in the process of creating new maps based on which devices are on which Frame Relay host port. I do believe that 60 seconds is not long enough for 800 devices but haven't found any information regarding limitations and recommendations. By the way, how many times does WUG ping the device during a poll? once, twice, three times ??? Thanks, Chris p.s. Feel free to share your salary. LOL It would be interesting to see what people are making in other parts of the country. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@INTERNET@HHC > Sent: Monday, August 27, 2001 11:22 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [WhatsUp Forum] False alarms > > > > I'm curious, Chris.
