About the Active Monitor Library

The Active Monitor Library dialog displays all active monitors currently configured for use in WhatsUp Gold.

In an effort to help you manage your network easily after your initial installation of the application, WhatsUp Gold includes a number of pre-configured active monitors. These pre-configured monitors are displayed in the Active Monitor Library. As you configure new active monitor types, they are added to the library.

To access the Active Monitor Library:

• From the console main menu, select Configure > Active Monitor Library.
• From the web interface, click GO. If the WhatsUp menu is not visible, click WhatsUp. Then, from the WhatsUp menu, select Configure > Active Monitor Library.

  

Use the Active Monitor Library dialog to configure new or existing active monitor types:

• Click New to configure a new active monitor type.
• Select an active monitor type, then click Edit to modify its configuration.
• Select an active monitor type, then click Copy to make a copy of that type.
• Select an active monitor type, then click Delete to remove it from the list.

  Caution: When you delete an active monitor from the Active Monitor Library, any instance of that active monitor is also deleted, and all related report data is lost.

• In the WhatsUp Gold console, you can select an active monitor, then click Test to test the selected active monitor on a device.
