You may consider placing your What's Up server on the same "side" of the firewall as your devices.

I believe the dependencies prevent What's Up from alerting you for all of the dependent devices if the device on which they depend is down. So, if you had 50 devices depending on one device, you would receive one alert, or how many alerts you have assigned to that one device.

As a result the systems behind this firewall is marked and logged as unavailable. nevertheless the systems are still up and running. does anybody know a solution to poll the subnet (or the related map) only if the firewall is available, so that no downtimes are logged and displayed in the gui while the firewall is down? we tried to create dependencies between the systems and the firewall itself. although the systems are not polled while the firewall is down, all systems behind are logged and displayed as unavailable instead of being marked gray as "not monitored". thanks in advance, yours marc Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
