Learning about Logs
The WhatsUp Gold Logs tab provides device information to help you monitor and
troubleshoot device performance and historical data that WhatsUp Gold and WhatsUp Gold
plug-in products collect. The logs provide a view of: activity that has occurred on devices and
device groups, actions and monitors applied, and summary reports so you have a view of
network performance. This information provides insight into network issues and trends so
you can tune and troubleshoot WhatsUp Gold server and network performance.
Most of the data in the logs can be exported to a formatted text file, Microsoft Excel, or a PDF.
You can also email reports as a PDF, or send on scheduled intervals.
