Thanks. I'm still on ver 7. But that helps knowing I can alert from syslog in 8. That effects some of the other projects I'm looking at.

I found that you /can/ get it to alert on a syslog message. On the device alert menu, edit the alert and tick "on events" then go and select the event that you've set up in Configure / Events Library. I'm glad you asked that question Jeff, as this has opened my eyes to a whole world of extra things I can custom monitor. Cheers, Andy.

I was trying to get a useful alert for down PCs. As I don't really care if 1 PC is down (sometimes users will reboot or shutdown instead of logging off). However if more then 2 PCs are down then there is an issue that I need to look at. Possible causes... - More then one user shutting down their PC. - An unmanaged hub going down. - A power circuit going down. - A total power failure at a branch w/ the telco rack on an unmanaged UPS. - The location disappears from the WINS server. All of the above are things that have happened. Most of my branches are small enough to not get a managed UPS, because there are no servers at the branches. I was hoping to get this functionality in WUG. It looks like the PERL script may be the best way to go. However I would use WUG to do the testing and the perl script to update the file. Then when it hit the magic number have it send a trap (because WUG doesn't alert from syslog) then have WUG alert from the trap.
