Hi, A while back an https plug-in was posted here, never tried it myself, did anyone else? See the archive below, there's a download link etc...

Even Windows gives a program for thar. Then I have to use syslog or traps to get info in WUG. But that still doesn't update the up/down state in WUG it only logs it and send out alerts. Now I have another monitoring system to keep up to date. I already spend too much time keeping MRTG upto date. I don't need another one. Maybe that is the only way to do this with WUG. It just seems that most of the other's offer a feature to run your own scripts. I'm already thinking about look into a different system. If IPSwitch doesn't fix/add this in their next version I might not have a choice to stay with them. Does any one have any ideas on a plug-in to do this? -----Original Message----- >From: "Anthony Franklin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: 3/9/04 9:05:09 AM >To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Plugin for HTTPS > >Okay, > >You do NOT have to know Unix, but read on: If you are familiar with >Unix, you have heard of Crontabs.
