Adding and editing a Network Statistics Monitor

This monitor uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to query a device to collect data on three device protocols, Internet Protocol (IP), Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), and User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and alerts you when the thresholds you specify are met or exceeded. For example, you can use the IP received discarded threshold monitor to watch for situations where a router with Quality of Service (QOS) has priorities set for Voice over IP (VoIP).

For more information, see Example - Using a Network Statistic Monitor to check for IP data received and discarded.

Note: This feature is only available in WhatsUp Gold Premium Edition. To update your license, visit the MyIpswitch portal.
