Is it not possible to configure the sending devices so that they are a little more discriminating in what they transmit?
On the WhatsUp Gold side... I would suggest configuring the devices on your maps so that they have the specific events that are of interest to you, and then configuring the SNMP Event server so that "Filter Out All Unsolicited Traps" is enabled. Thus, you might still receive 1 trap per second but only fire 1 Event per hour. Now, the SNMP log will still show 1 entry per second... but it's the Activity Log that records Events, and the Activity Log that gets displayed in Quick Status. This should help with your locking up problem by ensuring that you are working with smaller log files. It also should be possible to manipulate your EV log files using a third-party application whilst WhatsUp Gold is running. I do this manually all the time using my favorite Text editor. Perhaps something in Perl (as MRTG is already running)? We have previously logged a feature request for the log viewers to offer various filtering options, and for logging itself to have some sort of filtering (don't log things that we know from experience are not of interest).

I have found that we have a Citrix server farm that is generating a huge number of SNMP traps, well over one per second, that is resulting in log files that are larger than 70megs on some weeks. If I allow these log files to continue to exist, then WUG will first cease sending the downtime reports (I assume because it can't parse the log files quickly enough) and then ultimately the CPU will peg and the application will need to be killed. This occurs whether running as an application or as a service. I have seen similar issues when using the Quick Status out of the application. Again, the application is attempting to parse the logs to display them for just that device and is getting hung up. I would like to see, unless it is already there and I am truly blind, an option to purge a particular device's logs from the log files. I can simply go into the file after stopping the application and manually purge these but quite frankly I just want a button to accomplish this from both the web interface as well as the application interface. FYI, I have WUG sitting on a Compaq DL380 with dual P3-933s and 2GB of RAM running Windows 2000 server. The only other applications being run on this server are MRTG and IIS and I can clearly see the minimal amount of resources that this is consuming.

As soon as I select the log What's Up Gold immediately stops responding and won't recover. I am running Ver. 8.0 I never had this happen in ver 7.
