Manage Web Server

How to get here

Enter or select the appropriate information to manage the WhatsUp Gold Web Server.

WhatsUp Web Server

• Enable web server on port. Enter the port you would like the WhatsUp Gold Web server to use for standard connections. The default value is 80, but you can enter any port number (for example, if you are running WhatsUp Gold on a server that also has a public Web server, you will want to enter a different port).
• Enable SSL web server on port. Enter the port you would like the WhatsUp Gold Web server to use for SSL-secured connections. The default value is 443, but you can enter any port number.
• Inactive session timeout. Enter, in minutes, the amount of time after which WhatsUp Gold ends the session of an inactive Web user.
• Maximum Passive Monitor records. Enter the maximum number of device and system level passive monitor records to collect for full reports. The default value is 1000 max records for WhatsUp Gold v14.2 and later.

  Tip: If you experience page load delays for device or system passive monitor reports (SNMP Trap, Syslog, and Windows Event Log), this may be caused by too many records to display for this report time range. Change the time range or reduce the Maximum Passive Monitor Records setting to display fewer records. Reducing the maximum number of passive monitor records will improve WhatsUp Gold report display performance.

  Note: WhatsUp Gold v14.1 and prior used a default value of 10,000 max records; WhatsUp Gold v14.2 and later use a default value of 1,000 max records.

• Restart Web Server. Click this button to restart the Web server.

  Note: If you are using IIS as your Web server, the WhatsUp Web Server options are disabled.

  Note: If you are using IIS as your Web server and are also using the WhatsUp Gold NetFlow, the NetFlow service is not stopped and restarted when you click Restart Web Server.

Map Settings

• Max width of graphical maps. Enter the maximum width of maps viewed through the web browser. The size is in pixels and the default is 1000.
• Max height of graphical maps. Enter the maximum height of maps viewed through the web browser. The size is in pixels and the default is 1000.

Enable Mobile Access. Select this option to enable WhatsUp Gold Mobile access, which allows you to connect to WhatsUp Gold from a mobile device.
