| | I have setup eventlog monitoring- watching for specific event IDs. Does WUG establish a permanent connection to all monitored Windows hosts? Do all events pass to WUG for filtering, or is filtering done at the monitored host? How? Thanks you very much. John |

| | Well, yes, my understanding is that basically there is an ongoing tcp connection between wug and the server. Whether filtering is made on the wug box or on the source server, I don't know. You may be interested to use evntwin instead (search that in the forums). It's a windows tool allowing you to turn selected events into snmp traps. Much smarter. No permanent tcp connection (heavier on resources and network), filtering 100% sure on the server, ability to "filter out" events when they happen in quick succession, ability to export your config and import it on another host.
Reading, writing and arithmetic - If you need to choose, please take option 1. |

| If you setup passive monitoring without a catch all condition for unsolicited traps and don't have a specific passive monitor assigned to what you are expecting to receive, it gets thrown on the floor.
It took some trial and error, but I ended up writing some passive monitors for SNMP strings that I actually cared about.

| | Passive Monitoring allows you to catch traps from devices you want to monitor. Instead of polling a device WSUG listens for traps. When the device you're monitoring sends out the trap you want, WSUG sees it then initiates an action that you specify ... e-mail, page, etc. |
