How to Install Progress Wu Gold Log Mgmt Plug-in 10 Upg To 200
To maximize performance and minimize downtime, follow these steps to install and activate the upgrade license for your Progress WhatsUp Gold Log Management plug-in:
Step 1: Prepare your environment. Verify that Progress WhatsUp Gold is installed on the PC and that you have an active 10-device Wu Gold Log Mgmt license eligible for upgrade. Ensure the PC meets the recommended hardware requirements for log ingestion, indexing, and reporting, including adequate disk space, memory, and network connectivity to all log sources. Back up critical configuration data before applying the upgrade.
Step 2: Obtain the upgrade entitlement. Retrieve your upgrade license key and any accompanying documentation from your vendor or portal. Keep this information secure, as you will need it during activation. If offline activation is required, prepare the necessary transfer medium and verification details per your organization’s security policy.
Step 3: Launch the upgrade installer. Run the provided upgrade installer or plug-in update package on the PC where WhatsUp Gold is installed. The installer will detect the existing log management setup and determine the upgrade path to 200 devices. Follow the on-screen prompts, reviewing any license terms and prerequisites carefully before proceeding.
Step 4: Activate the license. Enter the upgrade entitlement key when prompted. Choose the online activation option if the PC has internet access; otherwise, use the offline activation workflow as provided. Activation validates the upgrade and extends device coverage from 10 to 200 as configured.
Step 5: Restart services and verify coverage. After activation, restart the Progress WhatsUp Gold services to ensure the new plugin and license are loaded correctly. Log in to the WhatsUp Gold console and navigate to the license or device management area to confirm that the device limit now reads 200. If discrepancies occur, consult the vendor’s support resources or contact technical support for assistance.
Step 6: Configure and test log sources. Reconfigure or validate log source connections to ensure all intended devices are feeding logs into the system. Validate that new devices appear in the central repository, verify log ingestion throughput, and run test searches or reports to confirm performance and accuracy. Review dashboards for any changes and adjust retention policies and alert thresholds as needed to align with your operational priorities.
Step 7: Establish governance and monitoring. After successful installation, document the upgrade in your change management system, set up role-based access controls for the log data, and review retention windows, archival strategies, and compliance-oriented reporting. Plan regular health checks to guarantee sustained performance and to capture any future upgrade opportunities as your network grows.
