Working with the My Network Map
The primary WhatsUp Gold My Network map automatically arranges devices based upon role and connectivity information gathered during the discovery process though it can be modified and customized as needed to fit your individual network monitoring needs.
Select MY NETWORK from the navigation menu to display the map of devices previously discovered and subsequently added to the application for monitoring. This is the default map displayed immediately upon logging in.
At left are icons used to configure the map view to fit your monitoring specific needs. Using these controls you can:
|
Toggle between a map view arranged automatically according to connectivity and a custom map of your own design. Please note, selecting Custom Layout disables the Include devices in sub-groups option when selecting which devices to map. |
|
Select specific devices and device groups to display on the map. |
|
Execute an action on every device within the selected device group. This control is visible once the device tree is visible. |
|
Enhance the level of map detail by applying overlays to display device connectivity and dependency as well as virtual and wireless infrastructure devices. Please note, you may need to enable one or more overlays to display certain monitored devices and launch corresponding device information cards. |
|
Filter the map by attributes such as location, device name or IP address, assigned credential types, current status, and role to limit the number of items displayed. |
At right are icons used to access the most common libraries used for WhatsUp Gold device management as well as controls for customizing the look and feel of your network map. From here, you can not only access, but also apply both credentials and monitors to devices displayed on the current map. Simply select one or more existing credentials or monitors along with any icon or icons shown, then click Apply to selected devices to complete the assignment. With either the credentials or monitors dialog open, click 
to add a new credential or monitor to the respective library directly from the Monitor map or 
to open that library in full screen mode.
Access the Credentials Library to assign credentials to a network device or add new credentials to WhatsUp Gold. |
|
Access the Monitors Library to assign monitors to a network device or add new monitors to WhatsUp Gold. |
|
The bottom of the interface contains the following controls for manipulating the map view:
Display/Hide the Monitor Legend on the map. |
Zoom in, zoom out, and fit the map displayed to the available screen space. |
Toggle between pan and select modes. When pan mode is enabled, clicking and dragging moves the displayed map. When select mode is enabled, clicking and dragging selects all devices within that area of the map. |
Show/Hide the Device List both in partial and in full screen views. |
Display/Hide the map editing tools. Please note, this control is only displayed when Custom Layout is enabled. |
