About the Web Task Manager

The Web Task Manager extends the functionality of the Microsoft Windows Task Manager to provide network device overview information about processes occurring on a device, device performance, and device interface activity. The Web Task Manager graphs and displays real-time information using SNMP or WMI device connections.

You can use the Web Task Manager to identify device issues and take corrective action on a device.

There are three tabs that provide device information:

• Processes. Provides key indicator process information for a selected device that WhatsUp Gold is monitoring. For example, you can view a list of .exe files that are running and the amount of CPU and memory used by each program.
• Performance. Provides dynamic performance information for a selected device that WhatsUp Gold is monitoring. For example, you can view details about the CPU and memory usage.
• Interfaces. Provides information about a selected device's interfaces that WhatsUp Gold is monitoring. For example, you can view a list of interfaces that the device uses learn about how much data is transmitted and received via each interface.

For more information on the Web Task Manager, see Using the Web Task Manager.

Note: The Web Task Manager shows slightly different data on the Performance tab depending on the type of device being monitored. For Windows devices, the information matches the data that is available via the Windows Task Manager
