WhatsUp Gold Server Endpoint Library (Remote Servers)

Data that is imported or exported to or from WhatsConnected to or from WhatsUp Gold requires that WhatsUp Gold servers (or endpoints) be defined to exchange data between the applications. Data shared between WhatsUp Gold and WhatsConnected is accessed using the NetworkViewerDataService in WhatsUp Gold. WhatsConnected import/export features communicate with the data service to access the WhatsUp Gold database.

If WhatsConnected is installed on a system with WhatsUp Gold installed, then a "Local Server" endpoint is added automatically to the remote servers (endpoint library). The "Local Server" endpoint cannot be deleted but it can be edited. Other remote servers can be created and edited similar to other libraries in WhatsUp Gold and WhatsConnected. WhatsUp Gold remote servers are stored in the netview-viewer-config-user.xml configuration file.

The WhatsUp Gold Remote Servers dialog lets you define and manage WhatsUp Gold servers for:

Exporting topology maps from WhatsConnected
Exporting scheduled discovery data from WhatsConnected
Importing credential data from a WhatsUp Gold server

Use this dialog to Add, Edit, Copy, and Delete WhatsUp Gold servers that will interact with WhatsConnected data.

The dialog displays the following WhatsUp Gold remote server information Name, Description, Host Name/IP Address, and Port.
