I believe that “ICMP” is now
listed in the “Active monitors” area for a device. Once you add the
HTTP monitor, you should be able to remove the ICMP monitor. What’s nice
about WUP is that you can select multiple monitors and there is no longer a
default. In WUG you could only log 1 “default” poller. In WUP, you
can configure it to store latency on all your monitors.

I would love to but in
WhatsUp Pro 2005, that option is not available. In WhatsUp v8.x there was
an option to poll using other polling methods (http, ftp, telnet, services,
etc) but I can not find this option.
I upgraded from WhatsUp
v8.03 to Pro and this is one of the "missed" items that I have not
found as of yet.

You may want to use
another protocol (such as HTTP) for primary polling on those devices. This may
work around the issues you're seeing with ICMP while maintaining the
connectivity monitoring.

ICMP, by
design, is not a reliable protocol. RFC792 states:
The Internet Protocol is
not designed to be absolutely reliable. The
purpose of these control messages is to provide feedback about
problems in the communication environment, not to make IP
reliable.
There are still no guarantees that a datagram will be delivered or
a
control message will be returned. Some datagrams may still
be
undelivered without any report of their loss. The higher
level
protocols that use IP must implement their own reliability
procedures
if reliable communication is required.
A device
will not respond to an ICMP request if it is too busy to answer. And
during heavy WAN usage, ICMP requests are often discarded. This is
simply the way things work. It's a pain (and annoying), but that's
just the way it is.
You'll
can try adjusting the trigger to a higher value or set WUG to just not monitor
during known high volume times.

I'm
having the same problems with my WhatsUp 2005 as well. It's becoming a
pain to keep getting alerts when there is nothing wrong with the device or
service.
I've
been working on this problem now for about 2 weeks with no end in sight.
I've tried increasing the poling intervals as well as limiting how many
interfaces or items are checked.
The one
thing that I have noticed is that it appears to happen most with ICMP or PING
packets during times when my WAN is in it's heaviest use.
Any help
would be greatly appreciated as well.

I've noticed
that WhatsUp will occasionally fail on it's checking
of a system. However, if you immediately check the system, it finds all
services running perfectly. With the old version, I would mark the device
to only log after 4 failed attempts. I have not seen a similar function
with the new 2005 version. Am I missing a setting someplace?
For those interested, the errors I get in the
State Change log is something
along the lines of "Unable to open SCM.
The RPC server is unavailable". This happens on
Exchange 2000 cluster server, and on a Oracle Cluster server (specifically, the
virtual computer name)
