It very much depends on your configuration: 1) Use dependencies so that certain devices only get polled dependent on the state of other devices. ie, infer state information rather than poll directly.
2) Alter poll frequencies. Is more polling better? Is it really important that you know that a non-vital web server is non responsive wthin one minute.. or would five minutes be "good enough". 3) There's a registry entry to configure the ping packet data size Mark Symons Ipswitch, Inc Augusta GA -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 21 September 2004 06:16 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] Whatsup bandwidth consumed Hello, we need your opinion, we are new to whatsup and we are thinking about monitoring a network with 500 items (servers, network equipment, printers ...). The monitoring server would be in a different location that the monitored network and communicated to it via a point to point link. Is the monitoring with whatsup very bandwitdh consumming? It depends a lot on the whatsup configuration? which range of bandwidth could we be talking about? Many thanks Mdeandres.
