Use the Advanced Options dialog to set advanced options by configuring the timeout and number of retries for the monitor.

Configure advanced options using the following boxes:

  • Timeout (seconds). Type the amount of time (in seconds) you want WhatsUp Gold to attempt collecting data on a device.
  • Number of Retries. Type the number of times you want WhatsUp Gold to attempt collecting data, when the device does not respond.
  • Use in Rescan. Select this option to have the monitor appear in the Active Monitor list on the Device Properties dialog. WhatsUp Gold adds the monitor type to the device during a rescan, which is launched using the Rescan button on the Device Properties dialog, if the protocol or service is active on the device.

Click OK.
