Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold User Guide
The Logs tab includes the following groups:
System Logs. Display system-wide information and information about the WhatsUp
Gold server. System log reports usually do not focus on a specific device nor a specific
device group. For example, the Action Log displays all actions for all network devices.
Group/Device Reports. Group reports display information relating to a specific
device group. For example, the Quarterly Availability and the State Summary reports
are group reports. Device reports display information relating to a specific device. For
example, the Monitors Applied report for a single device is a device report.
