But then it shows as being in maintenance. What if I have a device that I want to show on my maps (like a fax), but I can't monitor it. I want it on the map, so I can track the fax number, the model number and even what toner it uses. However I don't want it monitored, and I don't want any status at all to show in the map, or in upper level maps. In WUG I could just turn off monitoring of the device. I also set the color for status inactive (unmonitored) to white with a very small box.
Was the inactive/unmonitored state removed in WUP? If so why. I would say that I have 20% of my devices in WUG set as inactive. I really like the idea of maintenance, but not at the loss of inactive.

You could put the device into maintenance mode: Device Properties>Polling>Maintenance>Force this device.... I'm not sure what affect leaving something with an unknown status does to your reports, but I do know Maintenance mode is accounted for properly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks, Steve Busby Information Technology Services University of Nebraska Medical Center 985030 Nebraska Medical Center [EMAIL PROTECTED] 402.559.9621 If Linux doesn't have the solution, you have the wrong problem. ***************University of Nebraska Medical Center E-mail Confidentiality Disclaimer *************** The information in this e-mail is privileged and confidential, intended only for the use of the addressee(s) above.

How do you do this in WUP? I see a status of unknown, but in WUG there was also a status of inactive.
