Progress announced the latest release of Progress WhatsUp Gold network monitoring software.
With this new release, WhatsUp Gold adds integrated log management, third-party monitoring and management via outbound REST APIs and improved reporting—making it easier than ever to find and troubleshoot problems quickly.
WhatsUp Gold 2021 introduces intuitive, integrated log management capabilities for tracking and alerting on syslog and Windows log events. Users can monitor, filter, search and alert on logs for every device in their network while also watching for meta trends like log volume changes. All of this is done within the same industry-leading interface that makes troubleshooting with WhatsUp Gold easy. The result is the ability to manage syslog and Windows log events and alerts the same way users monitor the rest of the network and with the same customizable dashboards and reporting.
Additional WhatsUp Gold 2021 capabilities and features include:
- Outbound REST APIs: WhatsUp Gold’s inbound REST API support has been expanded to include outbound REST APIs. An extensive suite of outbound REST API calls lets users leverage REST to provide information to WhatsUp Gold from other third-party systems. This extends integration to the application level, making it simple to seamlessly integrate functionality with third-party applications like Salesforce, Office 365 and others. In addition, inbound REST API calls allow users to automate workloads by extracting specific data from WhatsUp Gold or inputting information from a separate system or script.
- Faster, HTML-Based Reports: WhatsUp Gold reporting has been optimized for HTML and email, resulting in much faster and more useful report generation. This includes WYSIWYG outputs that incorporate hyperlinks and are easier to share.
“The pandemic has disrupted when, where and how we work. More than ever administrators need a single tool they can trust with their network infrastructure,” said John Ainsworth, SVP, Core Products, Progress. “With the integration of log management in WhatsUp Gold 2021, users now have world-class network monitoring and powerful log management in one easy-to-use solution. The end result is the ability to fix network problems fast, usually before end users notice—which is the holy grail of IT.”
The latest release of Progress WhatsUp Gold is available today.
