| | WhatsUp Gold Features: Notification
By being the first to know when a mission-critical network device or service goes down you can avoid lost revenue and increase customer and employee satisfaction.
WhatsUp Gold can help keep your mission-critical network up and running 24 hours a day. It provides a variety of views into your network in real-time and alerts you when devices or services are down. Down notification is available by desktop alarm, beeper, pager, e-mail or telephone so you can be the first to know when a critical server or service goes down.
With WhatsUp Gold's instant notification system, you and your network management team will be the first to know when your network efficiency is being compromised.
Since every network manager needs to be alerted to network failure, a timely response is critical to avoid lengthy downtime. WhatsUp Gold's instant notification features minimize your response time.
In addition to visual alerts, you can also specify the following types of alerts when a device or service goes down or when an SNMP trap is received:
- Sound an alarm
- Send notification via a beeper, pager, e-mail, or voice message
- Make an entry in the log file
While monitoring, you can display up-to-the-minute status information about a particular device by simply pointing to it and double-clicking the left mouse button to display a status window.
SMS Notification  allows you to receive critical network alerts from a preferred communications vehicle, increase time savings and maximize user productivity.
It provides broad support for SMS providers to send direct alerts to a pager or cell phone. WhatsUp Gold 8.0 includes a predefined provider database to eliminate the time needed to find and configure provider settings in WhatsUp Gold. The SMS notification is quick and easy.
Group Notifications
Easily create "response teams" to be notified of an alert condition by combining multiple notifications into a single, named group. A "smart" notification process gives you the option of stopping subsequent alerts after the first member of a group has been notified, or just alerting everyone in the group.
Recurring Network Status Notification
Be notified of network status in user-defined time intervals sent to your pager or mobile email device.
Text to speech notification
Optional plug-in reads textual alerts over the console's audio system offering eyes off notification of outages to network operations staff. This eliminates the need to record specific WAV files for voice notification at the console.
Enhanced NT Service Monitoring adds the convenient option to restart a failed NT/2000/XP service in conjunction with sending a notification of this service failure. This allows users to manage NT services based on activity within your network.
