WhatsUp Gold consists of several components that can failover automatically in the event of the primary server going offline. WhatsUp Gold Web Server interface is the primary Virtual Service that will be used for health checking to ensure the server is online and ready to accept traffic.

This step-by-step setup of Virtual Services (VSs) leverages the Progress Kemp application template for WhatsUp Gold. This template configures the Virtual Services to leverage Layer 7 and transparency for the UDP services such as SNMP, Syslog, and Netflow. This approach will allow the real servers to see the source IP address of the devices running in the infrastructure.

The table in each section outlines the settings configured by the application template. You can use this information to manually configure Virtual Services or use the LoadMaster Application Programming Interface (API) and automation tools.
