Progress Wu Gold Log Mgmt Plug-in 25 Upg To 50

Unlock scalable, enterprise-grade log visibility with the Progress Wu Gold Log Mgmt Plug-in upgrade. This license enhancement empowers Progress WhatsUp Gold users to expand their log management footprint from 25 devices to 50 devices, delivering deeper insight, faster troubleshooting, and stronger governance across larger networks. Built for performance and reliability, the plug-in integrates seamlessly with your existing WhatsUp Gold deployment, enabling centralized log collection, advanced search, real-time alerting, and streamlined retention policies without disrupting current operations.

• Expanded device capacity with richer visibility: The upgrade from 25 to 50 devices dramatically broadens your monitoring scope. You can aggregate logs from more servers, network devices, and applications into a single, searchable repository. This expansion reduces blind spots, shortens mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to repair (MTTR), and supports proactive incident response across diverse environments.
• Seamless integration with Progress WhatsUp Gold: This plug-in upgrade is designed to slot into your existing monitoring stack without rewriting dashboards or alert rules. It leverages the same licensing framework, data models, and UI workflows, so teams can continue using familiar panels, filters, and templates while benefiting from increased log coverage and advanced management features.
• Advanced log management capabilities: Centralized log collection, structured parsing, indexing, and fast search empower operators to locate root causes quickly. The upgrade includes configurable retention policies to control storage costs and compliance posture, plus powerful alerting, correlation, and visualization options that help you spot anomalies and trends across the extended device set.
• Easy licensing and deployment with minimal downtime: The upgrade license is designed for straightforward activation. Apply the license through WhatsUp Gold’s License Manager, validate coverage across all 50 devices, and begin ingesting logs promptly. The process supports maintenance windows and is engineered to minimize production impact while delivering immediate value.
• Enhanced security and governance: With more devices under management, the plug-in reinforces data protection through role-based access control, comprehensive audit trails, and encryption in transit and at rest where supported. You gain clearer visibility into who accessed log data and when, simplifying audits, regulatory reporting, and policy enforcement across a broader enterprise footprint.
