APM Overview

Application Performance Monitoring for WhatsUp Gold monitors applications across multiple devices, servers, and systems, providing performance statistics and overall application health, while alerting on performance degradation and potential problems before they result in service outages. APM helps IT organizations measure and guarantee Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and assists in pinpointing application performance bottlenecks and points of failure. For more information, see Getting Started with APM and the Application Performance Monitoring for WhatsUp Gold v16.1 Getting Started Guide.

Note: This feature is available with WhatsUp Gold Premium Edition only. To update your license, visit the WhatsUp Customer Portal.

Each application monitored by APM is comprised of a collection of individual components as defined in the application profile. This application profile is then applied to a WhatsUp Gold device, creating an application instance.

Following are some of the application types that the WhatsUp Gold APM plug-in supports:

APM is licensed on a per-component basis, meaning that each component monitored uses one license. A license is also required for a discrete application, an application that acts as a component of another application.
