When you say "managing", can you give me more detail on what you mean? For example, is it the effort involved in adding/modifying/removing an Active Monitor on 320 Devices? Or something else?

So if I have something I want to test on all of my 200 PCs, 20 servers, and 100 printer, I need to 320 services? Wow if only I had one thing to run, but what if I had more to run? I know I could do that and if I only wanted to do this for one or two it would not be so bad. But having to create a service for each item on each device I want to test sure creates more services then I could ever imagine managing.

We solved this problem at the State using WUG by setting up service checks which are HTTP content scans of CGI/Perl scripts running on an Apache server. The script can do anything, and return something like "success" or "failure." For example, to do a HTTPS content scan, use Perl to do the query and check for content, then return a value appropriately to WUG. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Cook Sent: Friday, September 16, 2005 2:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] WhatsUp with this forum? >From what I have seen of WUP it will be very nice when they get a few things worked out. My issues are about having to rewrite all of my custom asp pages. I guess I do have one other issue that Ipswitch has never successful responded to. Almost every other monitoring software I have looked at has the option to run a command line or program as a monitor/service. Ipswitch just does not want to provide that option on their software. They keep saying it is so easy to do with their plug-in, but if it was so easy why have they not done it yet?

WUG is not dead, just Ipswich's sanity is died. They have chosen to stop listing to most of their diehard customers. I have to rewrite all of my custom pages and scripts to convert to their new product, so it is a good time for me to look at other software.
