rip all of the html code when viewing the page(s) in question with perl then
extract what you need..

That would be easier....

You should be able to find alot of free perl scripts that do that in
google.. Of course you would have to hack the second part after the html is
gone.

then again you could use whatever....

Mike,

Thanks for the info.  But, Wow, that's ugly!  Maybe someone out there at
IPSwitch is reading and could chime in here, but Basically WUG is not going
to do me any good any longer unless I can provide these reports.  We've been
using the product for about 2 years, and I love it, but the boss told me
what he has to have.  Any body else have an idea?  How can I get into that
data to parse it into my own report?

Russell

Russell,
   Put away your perl and warm up your double-clicking finger. Only the
primary polling method is logged to the statistics log. What you see in the
web interface is in the mapname.wui file.... which isn't human readable.
There is a workaround for this but it is cumbersome. You need to create an
icon for each service and use the service as the primary polling method.
Your devices would be named server-smtp, server-pop, server-ntp....etc  Then
you can do reports on all of these. It just takes longer than needed to set
up and clutters up your maps. It's certainly doable though.

Hi all,

Does anyone have a way to generate some nice Availability Reports with
WhatsUp?  Before you tell me to RTFM, I have been using the built-in
"Performance Graphs" reports (WUP V8.01) but they just don't give me = what
I need.  I need a report with the same info you get on the device screen =
in the web console.  For each device, I need to see (for a week or a month)
= the total uptime, but for each individual service and not just pings.  I =
need this for each device.  Nagios (a free Linux-based product) does this =
nicely. Why can't WhatsUp?  These reports need to be generated and made =
available for clients via .html or .pdf files.  Before I go attacking the
wugstatdata.tab file with Perl, does anyone have a solution for me?  =
Thanks.

Russell
