Recurring Action Log

Recurring Action Log records WhatsUp Gold activity related to scheduled or recurring actions. It is useful for validating action completion, actions preempted due to a blackout period, and so on.

Each log message record contains the following data columns:

Date. Date and time for the event message.
Recurring Action. Name of scheduled recurring action.
Category. Result of the attempt to fire the action (success, failure, information, or cancel).
Details. Message string. Denotes if action fired, was blacked out, or manually prevented by user intervention or WhatsUp Gold service shutdown.

Fetch and filter log data

Choose time constraints. Choose specific windows for log data, reduce by date range, or choose Last Polled for the latest.

Filter and reduce by row and by column. Select rows based on specific column values, remove columns, and remove noise and chaff from the table.

Export report data

Report data can be exported from WhatsUp Gold, reused, and distributed in multiple formats. Select Expand () from the Dashboard Options () menu. After the report has been expanded, select the Export Data icon to access the following options:

HTML. Generate and download a .htm file presenting your report data as it appears in the WhatsUp Gold user interface.
Excel. Generate and download a .xml spreadsheet containing your report data.
CSV. Generate and download a .csv file containing your report data.
Text. Generate and download a .txt file containing your report data.
Schedule Export. Set a recurring date and time, format, and email destination for report data export.
Important: Current report data file format options are only applicable to export schedules created using WhatsUp Gold version 2021 and later. Any report data export schedule created using an earlier version of WhatsUp Gold will still result in a .PDF output until that schedule is removed from, then recreated in the Scheduled Reports Library using the latest version of WhatsUp Gold.
