RE: [WhatsUp Forum] MAPS and Sub Directories

[Oleg .]

OK, what do you mean under shortcuts: Containers, Subnets, or something else?

 

I see the only property field working as a link in Containers, Subnets is a visible "Display Name" and not invisible "Map Name" (dummy display field for Containers and Subnets). So your Display Name on the map can look like "ParentDirectory/SubDirectoryA/SubdirectoryB/TargetMap.wup". If you use this map of shortcuts only for loading not for drilling down - it's OK. Otherwise, you can enjoy long strings on your map.

 

And I was talking about drilling maps in different directories/subdirectories up and down.

You can click on the "Parent Map" to go up through directories in the WUG Web Interface. How to do the same from the Console?

 

 

Thanks,

Well I do not see that at all if I understand you correctly.

 

I have about 200 maps in 12 directories. I made shortcuts to just the root maps and dropped those shortcuts into one folder then had WUG load the root map shortcuts only.

I have the full path in my Properties | Target and I have the shortcut startup in the sub-directory when it's maps live. I did not have to rename anything.

 

So far all 200 of my maps work fine when loaded that way and I have see no ill effects so far from the web browser.

Also WUG only loads the root maps and the "load subnets auto...." is checked. Subnets have no shortcuts.

 

--Maybe I found another way to do it..

WhatsUp has a bunch of drawbacks when working with subdirectories.

You need to keep full path in the display name of your shortcut (Container or Subnet).

I reduced map font size to 1 and put different labels for icons not see long strings on the map. Next, I couldn't put a link to go up to parent directory - I am drilling up and down

parent and child maps. So I had to get rid with subdirectories and put all 120 maps in one folder. That's inconvenient.

Wondering if anyone is doing this (I have seen talk about it in the past)

Anyway I am revamping my maps and breaking them up into regions and offices.
Each region is a directory. Within each directory are the office maps for
that region.

However I see that WUG (web interface) can not handle the maps loaded going
from directory to directory.

So I made shortcuts to all of the maps and dumped them into one directory
and set those shortcuts to load. Now the web interface works just fine. I am
about to move this into full scale testing and was wondering if anyone is
running their WUG install like this.


Seem like it is going to work. I am just concerned about all of the other
stuff like events, alerts, etc....

Thanks
