I am beginning to think I have made a big mistake. Firstly, there doesnt seem to be anyway of linking groups/maps in the distributed installation to the central global map meaning that the support desk will have to monitor two seperate installations/dashboards, one for Asia and the other for the rest of the world which is not acceptable for them. Is there any way to link distrubuted groups/maps to a central group/map?

Secondly, we have spent months of work creating custom devices, monitors, scripts etc yet it seems there is no way to migrate these over to the distributed install and it looks like we would have to build it all over again from scratch. Unless I have missed something I would say that this version should be called "decentralized edition" rather than "distributed edition"

I have been a follower/user of WUG for a long time and if IIRC in the past you could distribute the load accross multiple backup servers to a single database however this just seems like madness! There doesnt seem to be any benefit to this product whatsoever apart from the bandwith savings for polling and in reality they are independent installations with a few reports rolled up centrally that could simply be generated on the remote server anyway.

Back to the reseller I suppose to beg him if I can trade the license to increase my central license and tolerate the latency.
