When using SNMP traps and having your traps defined (they have a name) and imported, you will have to choose between LOOSING TRAPS or have them in DOUBLE.

Or you choose any trap for a device and in the trap log you don't get the name of the trap. Or you choose the name and you miss other (unknown) traps.
Or you can choose any trap AND the specific trap and then you get them in double in the trap log.

Could you, please change this behaviour so that when you use 'any trap' and the name exists in the list of imported traps then the name of the trap is shown in the trap log?

Thanks

My wishes:

1. Better handling of syslog:
- Able to do something with severity levels and facility
- Letting a syslog message impact the status of the device
- Have a real live tail of syslog.

2. Much better templating: take a look at Cacti for example
- Create active monitor templates, with option to archive (turning them into performance monitors)
with a certain retention time (like cacti does with different RRA files; see RRD tool)
- Attaching monitor templates to Device Templates
- Create graph templates, so you can have multiple monitors in one graph (for instance 4 CPU cores in one graph)
- Attaching Graph templates to devices templates

There are alot of things I would like to see added or imporoved on the 2 primary would be:

1) ADS monitor similar to Spotlight on Active Directory http://www.quest.com/spotlight-on-active-directory/

2) Citrix monitoring Number of sessions per server, licensed used, registry size, is the server locked out (Users cannot login to server)

I'd like to be able to have the following:

1. Alert on performance monitors
    (Found an active script for disk space, but this should be included for all performance monitors)
2. Kick off a traceroute in an action and include that in an email notification
3. Have a checkbox in the "Edit Action Policy" on Down notifications to notify when the device is back up
    (This makes much more sense than having to add an Up notification for each down notification)
4. Another checkbox to keep notifying until the device is back up, with an adjustable wait period between notifications
    (In other words, keep bugging me until it is fixed)

An other good idea...

if you would build one Monitor to Display the Load ofthe WUPPolling Engine! So we have every time, when we add Devices to try or error, will the Polling Engine handle this additional Load ?


This is a great idea, I would also like to see different polling Queues. Split the type of monitor into different Queues, ICMP, SNMP, WMI, Active Script. This would also allow for more polls per minute by being able to split the queues. And each Queue would not affect the others if it is overloaded.

Have you tried polling the wug server itself with wmi ? Have a look at it. Wug does give a number of counters about its own behaviour.

Reading, writing and arithmetic - If you need to choose, please take option 1.

Well we have been using an old version of Zenoss forever and it's devices scanning abilities are superior to WUG.  Also being able to sort devices in more then one level (Zenoss can organize in 3 levels). 

A huge annoyance is adding passive monitors.  I really dislike having to go to each machine and manually add on each one a passive rule to alert me on a trap that comes in.  200+ devices, if I have to make a change to a passive rule then thats at least 400+ clicks to get it done.  Bulk change on that would work.

Also, I think it was mentioned in the poll but having alerting thresholds for performance monitors (90% CPU, 95% HDD utilization).  Don't frickin' hardcode those numbers either, make the alerts custom so I can put an alert if I want to see 10% hdd utilization, this would also be able to be custom per device or per device group.  This is where grouping comes in handy again.

Anyways, I also am a little annoyed that IPSwitch haven't said anything in this topic yet (that I can see).  Ha, Zenoss=Free and they will answer your questions in the forums, WUG=$$$$ and they don't answer...nice.

I'd like to see recurring reports that could be sent out as PDFs.

Also, there should be a separate status for a monitor timing out, rather than having the device be considered down.
