About the console
The WhatsUp Gold console is a Windows application used for the configuration and
management of WhatsUp Gold and its database. The console has six main components,
which are indicated on the image below.
1 WhatsUp Gold Toolbar. The icons on this toolbar change according to the view you are
currently using. Button functions are identified with mouse-over tooltips. Additional
toolbar icons can be enabled for the Map view by selecting View > Toolbars.
2 Device Group Tree. This is a list of all device groups created through WhatsUp Gold.
When you perform a discovery scan, WhatsUp Gold creates a top level folder for that
scan. All discovered subnetworks are created in subgroups, but can be organized,
deleted, or renamed to fit your needs.
3 View pane. This pane displays the selected device group based on the view from the
tabs below (Device View or Map View).
