Working with the My Network Map

Select My Network from the navigation menu to display the map of devices previously discovered and subsequently added to the application for monitoring. This is the default map displayed immediately upon logging in.

At left are icons used to configure the map view to fit your monitoring specific needs. Using these controls you can:

WUG17.0N-IMG-LAYOUT_TOGGLE

WUG17.0N-IMG-LAYOUT_TOGGLE_2

Toggle between a map view arranged automatically according to connectivity and a custom map of your own design. Please note, custom layout is only active when the Include devices in sub-groups option is disabled.

WUG17.0N-IMG-EXPAND_TREE

Select specific devices and device groups to display on the map.

WUG17.0N-IMG-GROUP_ACTIONS

Execute an action on every device within the selected device group. This control is visible once the device tree has been expanded.

Enhance the level of map detail by applying overlays to display device connectivity and dependency as well as virtual and wireless infrastructure devices.

WUG17.0N-IMG-MAP_FILTER

At right are icons used to access the most common libraries used for WhatsUp Gold device management as well as controls for customizing the look and feel of your network map. From here, you can not only access, but also apply both credentials and monitors to devices displayed on the current map. Simply select one or more existing credentials or monitors along with any icon or icons shown, then click Apply to selected devices to complete the assignment. With either the credentials or monitors dialog open, click <icon> to add a new credential or monitor to the respective library directly from the Monitor map or <icon> to open that library in full screen mode.
