Title: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Service Mode v. Console Mode

It seems to work in my testing so far,   Peter Parady MCSE 2K3, MCSA 2K3, CCNA, Security+ City of Columbus, Dept. of Technology [EMAIL PROTECTED] 614.645.5716     From: Steve Warnock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 15, 2004 8:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Service Mode v. Console Mode Does this work for anyone?    Even though I have it checked to Remember the last state,   everything still comes up green when I reload.   Does it only remember actual devices and NOT containers?   Thanks, Steve Warnock Advanced Computer Connections 419-668-4080   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anthony Franklin Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2004 11:25 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Service Mode v. Console Mode   Response number 2 is partially correct, in that you can choose to have What’s Up remember the last state upon restart….  You will configure this from the console.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Wasserman Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2004 10:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Service Mode v. Console Mode   1. The web page will be unavailable during the time between when you stop the service and when the app reinitializes and starts the web server again. And again when you shut down the console and restart the service. 2. All of your statuses get reset, so everything will be green when the app fist starts and then will go through the stages of down-ness all over again. And again when you restart the service. Also means that you get any alerts each time. 3. If you are doing any monitoring of servers in workgroups or other domains, you either have to log in with the account that the WUG service uses to make your changes, or get alerts and false downs from any servers that you don't have admin privileges on. 4. Ultimately, it's a bigger pain in the patoot than configuring your web accounts properly.

Console Mode Importance: High Thanks for the replies to my previous question, I am new to the product and really appreciate the feedback from those who have been using the product; I find it much more useful then the User's guide (Which is not the best written, I've seen) or from online FAQ's.  However, I will try not to abuse this forum, too much.  My question today is:  I am looking over the option to run WUG as a service, I read that if it is run as as service, any configuration changes must be done via the Web Client.  I don't want to set up the security to let some people configure maps via the web, and others only to view it.  So what is to stop me from taking WUG out of Service Mode, when I need to edit a Map and then returning it to service mode when I am done?
