You are right about the disclaimer. The only "down" dependencie I use has to do with an ISDN circuit that is used for back-up. I only check it if the router serial interface is "down".

Is it save to assume that you only use "up dependencies"? Do you have a end user story regarding "down" dependencies? I assume your disclaimer is due to the fact that from WUGs perspective the device is unreachable - but from the local site it is fine(?).

(hehehe) The main problem I face is acurate knowledge of remote lan equipment. If there are 5 hops from my central monitoring system and the remote device, I need to use dependencies to avoid false notifications. So... Everymap has my central router and then the next router and so on until my device. It gets even more complicated if there is a firewall introduced between segments. Set-up like this works for the most part. I do have a disclaimer at the bottom of the alerts to the local sites stating that it is possible the device is up even though I report is as being down. I hope this gets things started for you. I also would like to see what others have to say. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Adrian Ferrier Sent: Saturday, May 29, 2004 3:43 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] User Stories on Dependencies - research request Hey All, I'm interested in gathering end user stories on how you are using Up (and Down) Dependencies on your maps. What is the basic value you gain from this feature? (don't worry it's not going away) We already know that there is a desire to be able to create dependencies that span maps (although feel free to discuss further). And we already know that it is a challenge to resolve invalid dependencies through manipulating poll order. Those things aside - how are you using them? - what's your polling dependency story? Feel free to respond to the list if you would like others to view and comment or feel free to just respond directly to me.
