Importing and downloading application profiles

Application Performance Monitoring (APM) works seamlessly with the WUGSpace Community to promote application profile sharing with members of the community. Importing adds the profile(s) directly to the WhatsUp Gold database and downloading stores the profile(s) on the local drive for future import or inspection. Profiles that are imported/downloaded into WhatsUp Gold are stored in an XML file. Application profiles that are released by Ipswitch are identified with the icon and cannnot be modified.
