RE: [WhatsUp Forum] WUG and mass notifications not wanted

[Matt Wasserman]

Dependencies prevent the mass notifications. Devices will show as down on the map, but the only notification will be whatever you have defined for the device they all depend on.   Matt   From: Hoekenschnieder, Hokie (Tim G) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2004 3:35 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] WUG and mass notifications not wanted   Running WUG 8.x and would like to reduce the total notifications.  Let's say one device goes down and so WUG can't see 15 other devices because of the one device being down.  So each device gets an alarm and sends out notices (1+15=16 notices).  Just one would be nice and maybe it lists all items down.   It just gets hard when at 1AM your pager goes off, 16 times.   When only one device caused it.    I started setting dependences but worry that it will still send mass notices.  We have a duty person and after a set number of minutes the rest of the IT staff gets paged.  One network device goes down, email gets queued and then when it comes back up (16 notices x 5 people + system up notices = unhappy campers)   Thanks
