Setting Advanced Options

You can set advanced options to configure the timeout and number of retries for the monitor.

Type or select the appropriate information in the following fields.

• Timeout (seconds). Type the amount of time (in seconds) you want WhatsUp Gold to attempt collecting data on a device.
• Number of Retries. Type the number of times you want WhatsUp Gold to attempt collecting data, when the device does not respond.
• Use in Rescan. Select this option to have the monitor appear in the Active Monitor list on the Device Properties dialog. WhatsUp Gold adds the monitor type to the device during a rescan, which is launched using the Rescan button on the Device Properties dialog, if the protocol or service is active on the device.

Click OK to save changes.
