What makes this most frustrating, is that the "upgrade" modified known behavior to such an extent that the program became less functional that it was before the upgrade. One would expect that this type of behavior modification would have been noticed by Ipswitch during their testing of the patch, and that they would have provided more information at the time the patch was distributed.
As with the myriad WUP problems, they're now scrambling to not only "fix" the product, they need to perform some serious PR-type fixes. Heads should be rolling over at Ipswitch HQ.

To reiterate, you can get around the UP alert issue by setting the UP Alert Mode to "Send individual UP alerts for the device and each service that comes up" instead of "Send UP alert after the device and all services are up". With this Up alert mode, the device will first reach its trigger level, send a down and then when it comes back up send an UP alert. It will not send and UP alert for each of the services on the device itself. The purpose for this design was to have WUG send individual SVCUP alerts specifying which specific service came up. Before this all you would get was a SVCUP alert, and it really did not tell you what service came back up.

Hello, Ipswitch has recognized the issue with the errant alerts. We are in process of testing a hotfix which will eliminate this problem. However, in the meantime, here is a work-around to address the issue: Go under: Device Properties->Alerts->Edit Alert Check "Send individual UP alerts for the device and each service that comes up" should significantly reduce the issue. On behalf of Ipswitch, I want to apologize for the hardship this patch has created. We are working hard to release the hotfix to eliminate this pain.
