RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Group Icons and Several Interfaces

I'm not sure I have seen any monitoring program allow you to monitor multiple IP addresses using a single monitoring device.  Every system I have seen you would need to create a device for each IP address.

Although it serves for the time being I think we should have the capacity of having only one object, one set of information and service monitoring with several interfaces, instead of several replicated objects each one with a different interface.   If I need to change the info line 1 or 2 on a computer with 4 network cards I�ll have to change it on all 4 objects, it�s troublesome.   Can someone explain to me how to use the group icon on edit mode? I have tried to use it but I have until now been unsuccessful. I select several icons, a new green dot appears on screen but then I don�t understand what have I gained with this?     Thanks for the feedback, _____________ Francisco S. L. G.

I am doing some reorganization on several maps and one of the problems I have is that I can�t group icons. I would like to grab a structure and treat it has one, is this possible? (Example: a box with 3 routers�)   Another question, what is the proper way to monitor several interfaces on the same machine? The Interface monitoring is only through SNMP, right? If I want to ICMP monitor different interfaces on the same machine I have to create several objects with different IPs? _____________ Francisco S. L. G.
