What is WhatsUp Gold?
Progress WhatsUp Gold is a unified IT infrastructure monitoring platform. It discovers your network automatically, maps devices and their dependencies, and continuously monitors availability and performance across networks, servers, applications, virtual infrastructure, and cloud resources.
For IT teams, that centralized visibility changes how problems are handled. Instead of reacting to user reports, monitoring surfaces failing devices, saturated links, and degrading applications early — and gives engineers the topology, log, and traffic context they need to investigate root causes instead of guessing.
Because WhatsUp Gold also maps infrastructure dependencies, teams can understand which business services sit behind a failing component, prioritize response, and manage availability and performance against the expectations of the business.
Key Capabilities
WhatsUp Gold combines infrastructure monitoring, traffic analytics, log management, and network security visibility in one console.
Continuous visibility into the health and availability of every device on your network.
Understand how bandwidth is consumed, where latency appears, and when capacity runs out.
Monitor the services your users depend on — on-premises, virtualized, or in the cloud.
Control device configurations and centralize the logs your team needs for diagnosis.
Network Detection and Response capabilities that surface suspicious behavior inside your network.
Scale monitoring across sites and connect WhatsUp Gold to the rest of your IT toolchain.
Infrastructure Monitoring
When routers, servers, applications, and cloud resources report into the same platform, IT teams can identify issues, investigate problems, and understand dependencies without switching tools.
Track availability, interface health, and configuration changes on the devices that carry your traffic.
Monitor Windows and Linux servers, CPU, memory, disk, and services before users notice a problem.
See VMware and Hyper-V hosts and guests in the context of the physical infrastructure they run on.
Get application-centric alerts when performance degrades, tied back to the infrastructure underneath.
Monitor wireless controllers and access points alongside the wired network in a single view.
Extend visibility into AWS and Azure workloads for a consistent picture of hybrid environments.
Network Mapping
WhatsUp Gold's automatic Layer 2/3 discovery builds an interactive map of your entire networked infrastructure — devices, wireless controllers, servers, virtual machines, applications, traffic flows, and configurations, from the edge to the cloud.
Network Performance & Traffic
Bandwidth and flow analytics turn your existing network hardware into a visibility layer — so performance questions get factual answers.
See which links, interfaces, and applications consume capacity so congestion is diagnosed with data, not guesswork.
Identify where delay enters the network path and how traffic behaves over time — essential context for troubleshooting.
NetFlow, IPFIX, sFlow, jFlow, and NetStream support turns existing network hardware into a traffic visibility layer.
Historical trends and forecasting help you plan growth before saturation becomes an outage.
Correlating performance and traffic data shortens the path from symptom to cause — reducing operational uncertainty.
Applications, Servers & Cloud
Monitor applications, Windows and Linux systems, Apache, and Microsoft environments alongside the infrastructure they run on — including AWS, Azure, VMware, and Hyper-V.
Application performance problems are usually infrastructure problems in disguise. Because WhatsUp Gold monitors applications and the servers, virtual hosts, and cloud resources beneath them in the same console, teams can connect an application alert to the state of the infrastructure underneath — and restore service levels faster.
Application-centric alerts help you meet SLAs and user expectations, while virtualization monitoring shows hosts and guests in the context of their physical infrastructure — including resource consumption thresholds that warn you before contention becomes an outage.
Log Management
WhatsUp Gold Log Management centralizes Windows Event Logs and Syslog data, so the records you need during an incident are searchable from the same platform that monitors your infrastructure.
Centralized log visibility and retention help support compliance efforts: your organization can retain and review relevant information and produce evidence for audit processes.
Security & Threat Detection
Beyond performance monitoring, WhatsUp Gold Network Detection and Response adds a security lens: AI-driven anomaly detection, threat hunting, forensic analysis, and encrypted traffic analysis.
A responsible scope. These capabilities complement your security stack — WhatsUp Gold is a monitoring and detection layer, not a replacement for your firewall, SIEM, or EDR platform.
Behavioral analysis surfaces unusual activity that signature-based tools don't catch.
Investigate suspicious patterns across network data proactively, before they escalate.
Reconstruct what happened with historical network and traffic evidence.
Gain visibility into encrypted flows without decrypting payloads.
Detect lateral movement and insider activity inside the network.
Correlate performance anomalies with potential security incidents in one console.
Business Benefits
Every capability in WhatsUp Gold maps to an operational outcome your IT leadership cares about.
Alerts and thresholds surface failing devices and degrading services early, so teams can act before users are affected.
Topology maps, dependencies, logs, and traffic data in one console shorten the path from alert to root cause.
One platform for networks, servers, applications, virtualization, wireless, and cloud replaces a patchwork of disconnected tools.
Utilization trends and forecasting turn capacity planning into a data-driven process instead of reactive purchasing.
Consistent visibility across on-premises, AWS, and Azure environments from a single pane of glass.
Dashboards and reports give technical teams and management a shared, factual picture of infrastructure health.
Use Cases
From daily NOC operations to long-term capacity planning — the scenarios where unified monitoring pays off.
NOC teams get continuous visibility into device status, connectivity, and interface health across the entire network — from the edge to the data center.
Centralized monitoring of servers, virtualization clusters, and infrastructure resources with thresholds and alerts tuned to your environment.
Monitor AWS and Azure workloads alongside on-premises infrastructure, keeping one operational picture as environments grow more distributed.
Identify congestion, latency, and bandwidth bottlenecks with flow data and performance analytics before they degrade business applications.
Understand how infrastructure conditions relate to application performance and the experience your users actually receive.
Combine topology, logs, and traffic data to investigate incidents methodically and reduce mean time to resolution.
Network Detection and Response capabilities surface anomalies, suspicious activity, and lateral movement that perimeter tools can miss.
Use historical monitoring data and growth trends to justify infrastructure investments with evidence.
