Robert, I thought about your idea and put together a script that calculates the current down time of a device. What I did was incorporate it into the "marquee" code that Chris sent a while back. In the marquee, the device that's down is listed along with how long it has been recently down. Example: SERVER1 (17 min). It works best if your polling cycles are in 30 or 60 second increments, mostly so you don't end up with long fractions such as (17.33333333 min).
I also enhanced the code to strip away subnets from the marquee. I found
that when a device went down, both the device and the subnet map would be
displayed. Now only devices are shown and the subnet maps are ignored.
I have attached a ZIP file with the templates that were changed (TOPVIEW.ASP
& MAP.ASP).

Does anyone have an easy way to do calculation on the web interface. I would
like to take the MAP_POLL_INTERVAL which is in seconds, convert it to
minutes and then multiply it by the CURRENT_DOWN_COUNT. This would give me
the down time since the last succesful poll time. If I re-boot the WUG
server then all the down times would be since it re-started. IF I reset the
counters then the DOWNTIME variable is the right number. However, I like
having it show the total since whenever.
