I was having a similar problem. I finally created a separate network segment just for
all of out network monitoring apps. The odd thing is that we are fully switched. On
the old segment we had a few high destination nodes. This may have been responsible
for the anomalies.

Mark,
It's not that I'm getting paged and e-mailed, but on the web page, I get a
full blown page of red as 150 devices "miss" their first poll. I would
say, maybe, it's our frame relay circuit, but we have 2 major WAN circuits,
and I'm seeing the false-positives on both circuits at the same time. It's
not a firewall issue, as the WUG machine sits in the WAN DMZ.
I do have my alerts set to 3, but I have to deal with a Helpdesk calling me
when they see the web page "all go red"... then I have to go through and do
all the "Acknowledges" and such. And this never happened until 7.04.
Thanks for the input!

David,
It sounds like you have your Alert trigger set to 1 if you receiving alerts
for 1 missed poll. It is recommended that the alert trigger is at least 3.
Which means that it will take 3 consecutive missed polls to trigger an
alert.
Please reference this KB article:

information on your question.

It appears that since upgrading to WUG 7.04 last week, I've been getting a
lot of false positives. Not just a device here and there, but like 150
devices will report down all at once, usually for only 1 poll, though, so
at least my pager and e-mail aren't getting slammed. Anyone seen anything
like this?
