Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold User Guide
Changing how long report data is stored
Data is stored in the WhatsUp Gold database to populate the performance reports available
in the application.
To configure WhatsUp Gold report data:
1 From the main menu, select Configure > Program Options.
2 In Program Options, select Report Data.
3 In the Report Data section, you can change the data settings for performance monitors,
active monitors, and passive monitors.
4 Click OK to save the changes.
You can see how many rows in the database that the data takes up by viewing the numbers
under the time settings.
Reducing passive monitor records
The PassiveMonitorActivityLog table stores Passive Monitor data collected by SNMP Trap,
Syslog, and Windows Event Log monitoring.
When WhatsUp Gold collects large quantities of unnecessary or unwanted passive monitor
data, a very large table can result.
1 Verify Passive Monitor Listener configuration.
The first step is to ensure you are only collecting data for passive monitors you have
explicitly configured for your devices. To do this, ensure that for the both the SNMP Trap
Listener and the Syslog Listener, you are not accepting unsolicited messages. You can
verify this configuration in Program Options.
