System - General: Activity Log

The Activity Log report is a history of system-wide configuration and application initialization messages generated by WhatsUp Gold for the time period chosen at the top of the report. All messages found in this Log are also written to the Windows Event log.

Each entry shows the type of activity logged as well as the date, source, category and actual message of the activity.

Click the link above the Type column to group the entries by message severity (Information, Warning, or Error).

Note: If this report's data exceeds the maximum number of records set for full reports, use the Zoom Tool to view more records for the report. The maximum number of records any full report displays is specified in the Preferences dialog.

Report Body

Type. The type of activity, for example "Information."

Category. The category of the activity, for example, "startup."

Changing the report date

Use the date/time picker at the top of the report to select a date range and time frame.

In the Date range list, some reports also allow you to specify and customize the business hour report times for reports to display. This allows you to view the network activity only for specified business hours. The date and time format for the date on this report matches the format specified in Program Options > Regional set in the WhatsUp Gold console.

Paging Options

At both the bottom and the top of the report table exist report paging controls that allow you to move through extensive amounts of report data with ease. First, use the Page list to select the specific page for which to view report data. Next, use the Showing ___ rows per page list to specify the number of rows that you would like displayed in the report. You can choose to display 25, 50, 1000, 250, or 500 rows. The default maximum is 50 rows. Finally, the Paging buttons allow you to move from page to page, or go to the first or last page.
