Navigating the WhatsUp Gold User Interface

The latest version of WhatsUp Gold enables you to discover, manage, and explore WhatsUp Gold-discovered and WhatsUp Gold-monitored devices visually as a network map or a table grid. The network map and grid work together to provide status at a glance and quick drill down into device details when you need to know more than just status.

The primary WhatsUp Gold My Network Map automatically arranges devices based upon role and connectivity information gathered during the discovery process though it can be modified and customized as needed to fit your individual network monitoring needs. Conversely, the map of discovered devices that have not yet been added to WhatsUp Gold to be monitored cannot be modified except for rescan, add, and deletes.

The top of the interface contains a navigation menu divided into four areas categorized by highest level network monitoring work flow. In other words, the navigation menu is designed so you can easily select what you would like to do with WhatsUp Gold.

You can also perform a global search of WhatsUp Gold for application functions, devices, flow sources, and online reference materials from the top of the interface as well as launch WhatsUp Gold help content, access the About WhatsUp Gold information card which contains version and licensing information, and view active web alarms.

These top level navigation controls persist regardless of what areas of WhatsUp Gold you access or what actions you perform.
