Reading the Network Map
By default, the following conventions are used in the map window to indicate the status of a device or service:
- Highlighted device name - an event has been recorded for the device. For more information, see "Types of Events Logged" .
- Green device icon (with a square shaped background) - the device is "up" (responding to polling)
- Light green icon (with a diamond shaped background) - the device has missed at least one polling request
- Yellow icon (with a diamond shaped background)- the device has missed two polling requests
- Red icon (with an elongated diamond shaped background) - the device is "down" (It is not accessible or has not responded to four consecutive polling requests).
Note: After a device has missed 8 polling requests, the background shape becomes a starburst.
You can change the default device shapes and colors in the map properties, as described in the "Program Options (Device States)" topic in Help.
You can quickly display a brief status message by moving the cursor over a device icon. In the status bar of the map window, a message displays the device's host name, IP address, and current status or service status.
WhatsUp Gold displays a count-down timer on the right side of the status bar of the map window. The timer is set to the map Poll Frequency (Right-click a blank space in the map, select Properties and click General) and counts down to one between each poll. WhatsUp Gold resets this timer after each poll.
