WhatsUp Gold Live Activity displays activity occurring in all areas of the application across your network monitoring environment in near real-time.

Understand column data

The default view of each report contains a grid with the following columns:

  • Category. The area of WhatsUp Gold in which the individual activity occurred (e.g., Monitor, Log, System).
  • Component. The individual element item within the specified category generating the activity (e.g., device/monitor name, log entry, service).
  • Severity. Indicates if the activity is being reported as Information, Warning, or Critical.
  • Message. Provides additional details about the specific activity that occurred.
  • Elapsed Time. Reports the amount of time that has passed since the specific activity occurred.

Click the settings icon to launch the Report Settings dialog. Here, you can select individual data types to alternately appear in or be hidden from the Live Activity dashboard report. Use the toggles to enable/disable specific categories (e.g., Device, Monitor, Log) and the checkboxes to enable/disable specific subcategories (e.g., Network Source Activity, Network Traffic Log) and/or severity levels (i.e., Critical, Warning, and Information). Click OK to save your selections and close the dialog.
