Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold User Guide
To access the tools:
1 From the main menu in the WhatsUp Gold console, select Tools > Database Utilities >
Tools. The Database Tools dialog appears.
2 Select one of the tools:
Performance
Table Maintenance
Database Performance Tool
The Database Performance Tool is used to monitor the size of your database, and to manage
the index fragmentation percentage of the individual tables. Fragmented indexes can cause
database operations to slow down considerably, in much the same way that disk
fragmentation causes your computer to run slower.
Click Check for fragmented tables to begin. This may take a considerable amount of time
(up to a few minutes), depending on how many records are in your database.
Select fragmented tables to optimize. This list shows all database tables with
greater than 10% index fragmentation, along with the total number of data rows in
that table.
Optimize selected tables. Select the tables in the list above to defragment those
database tables. WhatsUp Gold automatically stops and restarts the WhatsUp Service.
The status of the operation appears on the dialog, next to this button.
