You don't understand what I described, and I'm not monitoring the same thing multiple times. I turn off polling of the device on the event log monitor object. I may have 2 objects, but I'm only polling once for ICMP response, once for service up/down and once for the event log. You don't have to monitor a device for ICMP response to monitor the event log. Try it and you'll see what I mean.

It would be nice if items were an object in a database, versus unique objects on a map. Then you could display the same device in multiple maps and only monitor the object one time. This would allow you to lay out a logical diagram of your network, but then create separate maps for Business Applications and interacting systems.

I'd like to have missed poll and service down alerts use one notification and event log alerts use another notification. The notification variable set for event log alerts is useless for regular alerts and vice versa. I don't think either of our scenarios is possible without creating separate monitors. For example, I have one icon for server1 that includes network up/down. I have another icon for server1 that monitors the event log, but does not monitor network up/down (uncheck monitor this device). Wish: Make notifications a property of the monitored service, not the device itself. An option for using the same notification for all monitors on the same device would be useful with this feature. Ipswitch, you listening? :-) Matt _____ From: Ashleigh Kirby [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 15, 2003 8:31 AM To: ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] Monitoring Services I have most of my devices set to monitor several services. Is there a way to assign a different alert trigger to each service on the same device?
