Best way I would recommended is using the Alpha pagers email address if they
have one.  Then you can set all the pagers up in one notification.  Most
alpha pagers now have email addresses and you can even specify another
alternate SMTP server besides a primary to send out notifications.  That's
the  way we have it setup and then monitor the SMTP server on the Whats Up
Gold server (secondary) to send notifications out the primary SMTP server if
our notification/SMTP server is not running.

Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] Slow Notifications



Hello All!
I am currently running WUG ver 6.  I have purchased the upgrade to Ver 8,
but have yet to install it.

This is a problem with notification, not detection.  Most of our devices are
setup to notify 4 alpha pagers when a problem is detected.  If several
devices are detected down at the same time, it can take a very long time
just to notify us.  We have had instances where the devices are back up
before WUG got around to all of the notifications.  Then we wait while it
notifies us that they are all back up.

Does WUG have a way to make several alpha pager notifications during the
same call??  It seems to make a separate call for each device and each
pager.
  All of our pagers use the same provider


Thanks
Steve Murphy
