RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Service monitoring - Username and Password

[Lloyd Wheeler]

Title: Message

I have setup several NT service monitors through the console without having to enter a username and password for each.  I have the monitor service running with a domain user and password and it monitors the services on other boxes fine.  If the user that the monitor service is running under has admin rights to the boxes you want to monitor you should be fine.  However, if they don’t have admin rights you will need to use a username/password for each service you want to monitor.     Lloyd Wheeler Helmerich & Payne, Inc.

Back in WUG you only had the option to enter a single username and password in the WUGSVC 'log on' properties.    Mark Singh Ipswitch, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Darren Burke Sent: Saturday, November 13, 2004 11:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Service monitoring - Username and Password I guess I need to type the username and password into every service and event?!!   Can anyone confirm this before I start? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darren Burke Sent: Thursday, November 11, 2004 4:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] Service monitoring - Username and Password Do I have to enter an account name for every NT service and Event log entry?  Is there some global default that I can use or do you have to type usernames and password in every time?  I have about 100 custom NT service and about 100 more Events so this is going to type some time to setup.  I tried starting the "Ipswitch WhatsUp Engine" as an account with privileges but this did not work.
