This is the way it works for me. It takes sometimes up to four polls before the cascading effect works to show what ever "down" states were shown in the lower maps, but at least I don't get the repeated pages for a device that was down already and I was aware of it. I also dislike the loading and unloading of the maps if you edit them off-line and then copy them back over as it always adds the map as the top device if you elect to use the suggestion to do this. I find it's usually not that big a deal to stop the service and start the WUG program to make extensive changes in lay-out and scans, and then save all maps before shutting the program back down and restarting the service. If installed on a WIN2K or XP system, you can even use the Terminal Services to access the console portion of the program remotely and make any changes that way... It's not the optimal way of doing it I'm sure, but it does work. ;)

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?

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? Thanks!
