I wrote my own little utility. My Web interface is a 2 frame page, the left frame is generated from WhatsUp Gold, it shows only the down devices (available here: www.geocities.com/jbrady33) It is 2 files, down.asp and redflash.gif (it is also archived on the Ipswitch site, but they don't have the redflash.gif file) If nothing is down it is a blank white page with the time and date and a summary showing the number of up devices on green. If something is down the names are listed in a large red font, the webdown sound plays and the border flashes red.
The right hand frame is generated by an IIS server on my network, it is just a blank page that is generated by a form page. The "Level 1" guy on duty goes to the form page, types text in the box (I'm at extension x, AT&T is working blah blah circuit, whatever you want everyone else to see) and clicks the "submit" button. A simple vb script (simple is the best I can do right now :) adds the HTML stuff to the beginning of the page and writes it to the web server. Both frames refresh every five minutes, and with no border between them it looks like one page. The Help Desk and network support keep it up on dedicated machines with monitors mounted near the ceiling. If you are using IIS to web serve for What's Up instead of the built in web server you wouldn't need the second web server. The code is totally insecure, anything you type in the box get posted to a readable HTML page, including malformed or malicious code. In my setup the web server requires a log in and is not available on the internet, so no big deal. I'm sure a more skilled VBScript writer could error check the submitted text before posting.

It will not work in the INFO or NOTES field. It also has to be a static file name for a file on the local server. WUG only supports the WUG ASP Tags. You can get the "Web Template Technical Reference" from the IPSwitch web site. You'll need it if you want to customize the web pages. If you want to use another language you would have to use that language to get a web page from the WUG server. The have it parse the page and send out a new one. It would be some work, but for a programmer that has the time, and the right language, it shouldn't be a lot of work. I hope this helps.

That's not what I want. I don't want to display it on the Whatsup Gold Map but below the menu, just as a text on the html site. So do you have an idea how to do that? Which languages does the Whatsup Webserver support? -----Original Message----- From: Joe Sepielli [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2003 12:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [WhatsUp Forum] Web interface Ines, If the text file is on the WhatsUp Gold box you can do this: <%INCLUDE% yourfile.txt> Regards, Joe In reply to 5 Jun message from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: >Hi, > >I am currently changing the layout and content of the Whatsup Gold >interface. >I need to display an information standing in a simple textfile.
