WhatsUp Gold Features
Discover
Know what’s on your network. Automatically discover all resources and map their connectivity. Build an accurate picture of your network devices, systems and their interconnections, using Layer 2 and 3 network technologies, including ARP, SNMP, ICMP, SSH, LLDP, WMI, Telnet and more. Easily schedule network discoveries or run them on-demand.
Mapping
Map your entire network. Automatically generate a complete Layer 2/3 topology map of your network with visibility into both physical and IP connectivity, including VMware and VLAN-specific information. Easily customize your maps and drill down into performance stats.
Monitor
Know exactly how your IT environment is performing. Using a combination of both active and passive monitoring technologies, WhatsUp Gold monitors the health, availability and status of your network, systems and application infrastructures. Stay ahead of potential performance issues with early warning notifications via SNMP traps and Syslog messages from your infrastructure devices.
Alert
WhatsUp Gold’s Alert Center gives you a single dashboard view with alerts from across your entire infrastructure. With multilevel escalations, WhatsUp Gold makes it easy to prioritize responses to any problem from performance issues, to traffic bottlenecks, to configuration errors. In addition, Alert Center makes it easy to acknowledge ownership, provide status updates and efficiently manage the resolution process.
Report
Over 200 out-of-the-box reports provide complete visibility into the health and performance of your infrastructure. Through WhatsUp Gold’s web interface, reports can be easily customized to meet a specific audience or need. See network, server and application performance information side-by-side with traffic and configuration data for powerful cross-silo correlation.
