RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Applying Actions to Multiple Devices

[David Summers]

I just spoke with support and they have identified this as something they are working on, hopefully for SP1.  I still need to modify the properties of several devices at once, i.e. SNMP communities, device types, actions, dependencies.   If there is anyone who knows the database way of doing this, then please let me know.  I am not a DBA and really only work with databases in a limited way.  Please let me know how to do this.   Thanks,   David Summers 214.706.1147 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Warnock Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2004 2:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Applying Actions to Multiple Devices   I remember reading that some of this will be addressed in a service pack.  Until then,  can’t you access the database directly and make multiple changes there en mass?   Thanks, Steve Warnock Advanced Computer Connections 419-668-4080   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Auger, Jay (IS) Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2004 11:14 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Applying Actions to Multiple Devices   Also, how about the ability to change the properties of multiple devices at once.  For instance, i am going through (1 by 1) and changing the devices types from the default of 'Workstation' to what they actually are.  If I could select multiple it would save a lot of time...   Jay     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Summers Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2004 11:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] Applying Actions to Multiple Devices I would like to know if there is any way to apply an action or action policy to multiple devices at once.  I need to apply the same action for up/down alerting to over 200 devices.  In WUG, you could apply an alert to multiple devices at once.  Where has that feature gone.   David Summers Network Analyst, Information Technology American Heart Association National Center 7272 Greenville Avenue Dallas, Texas 75231-4596 214.706.1147 214.706.1211 FAX [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "With a fool no season spend, lest ye be counted as his friend."
