After WhatsUp Gold discovers and identifies the role of devices, you can add those devices to a device group. You do not have to wait for the discovery session to reach 100% before you can add devices; after a device is listed as Complete in the Status column, it can be added to a device group.
Tip: If a device identifies with an incorrect role or a role other than the one you want to use, you can change it in the drop down in the Role column. This field lists all of the roles for which the device met the criteria. If the role you want to use is not in this list, you must modify the device identification on the role. For more information, see Using Device Roles.
To add all completed devices to a device group:
Note: Only devices that are listed as Complete in the Status column can be added. If any selected devices are in any other status, they are not added to WhatsUp Gold.
To add a subset of completed devices to a device group:
Tip: To easily add all devices of a role, such as all routers, sort the Devices Discovered pane by Role before selecting the devices.
Note: Only devices that are listed as Complete in the Status column can be added. If any selected devices are in any other status, they are not added to WhatsUp Gold.
After discovered devices are added to the device group, WhatsUp Gold begins monitoring them immediately.
