Extend Network Visibility Beyond the Local Monitoring Console
Gain cloud-accessible visibility across distributed monitoring environments, continuously track critical network paths and receive internet outage alerts even when local systems cannot reach you.
Monitor Distributed Networks Without Switching Between Consoles
Network performance depends on more than the devices inside one location. Applications, users and services rely on internet connections, ISP routes, cloud infrastructure and monitoring environments distributed across different offices, regions and operational boundaries.
When those environments are viewed separately, IT teams may need to switch between monitoring consoles, VPN connections, credentials and reports just to understand the scope of an issue. Internal monitoring may also become unreachable during the very connectivity failure administrators need to investigate.
The Progress® WhatsUp® Gold 360℠ platform adds a cloud-based layer of visibility around your network operations. It helps teams see across connected monitoring environments, track the external paths that connect users to critical services and receive notification of internet outages without relying solely on the affected site.

Centralized Visibility Across Monitoring Environments
Bring supported device, inventory, status and reporting data from one or more WhatsUp Gold servers into a secure, cloud-accessible operational view. Instead of moving between separate consoles to understand network health, teams can review distributed monitoring information from one place.
This provides a clearer starting point for troubleshooting, simplifies operational reporting and gives authorized teams access to supported monitoring information without directly exposing local monitoring consoles to the internet.
Explore Centralized VisibilityNetwork Path Monitoring Beyond the Local Network
Continuously observe the network path between monitored locations and external destinations. Hop-by-hop path visibility and historical measurements help teams understand where latency, packet loss, route changes or connectivity failures begin.
Unlike a point-in-time traceroute, continuous path monitoring preserves the conditions that existed during an incident. Administrators can compare normal and affected routes, identify the first observable point of degradation and provide carriers, cloud providers or application teams with a more precise technical record for investigation.
Explore Network Path AnalysisInternet Connection Monitoring That Keeps Watch During an Outage
Maintain an external heartbeat for critical locations and internet connections. When a monitored connection becomes unavailable, the WhatsUp Gold 360 platform can notify administrators by email or SMS, helping teams become aware of an outage without relying exclusively on the affected site's internet or email infrastructure.
This external perspective helps close a common monitoring gap. If an on-premises monitoring or notification system loses connectivity, the same failure may prevent that system from delivering the warning. Cloud-based connection monitoring provides a separate signal so teams can respond sooner and reduce the risk of delayed or missed notifications.
From Fragmented Monitoring to a Unified Operational View
Know What Is Happening Across Environments
Centralized Visibility brings supported monitoring information from connected WhatsUp Gold environments into one operational view.
Understand Where Performance Degrades
Network Path Monitoring helps teams follow traffic beyond the local network and investigate latency, loss and routing changes over time.
Know When a Site Loses Connectivity
Internet Connection Monitoring provides an external heartbeat and can send Email, SMS, Teams or Slack notification when a monitored connection becomes unavailable.
Together, these capabilities help teams move from a local, console-by-console view towards broader visibility across distributed infrastructure, external paths and critical internet connections.
What WhatsUp Gold 360 Helps Network Teams Do
-
Reduce Monitoring Fragmentation
Review supported information across connected environments without assembling the overall picture manually from separate systems.
Investigate Intermittent Problems
Use historical path information to examine what changed when users experienced slow or unavailable services.
-
Maintain Awareness During Connectivity Failures
Receive external notification of a monitored internet outage even when the affected site cannot deliver its own alert.
Improve Incident Triage
Determine whether an issue appears local, affects multiple monitored environments or begins along an external network path.
Escalate With Better Context
Provide a clearer record of the affected location, destination, time window, observed route and point of degradation when another team or provider needs to investigate.
Built for Distributed and Hybrid Network Operations
WhatsUp Gold 360 capabilities can support visibility requirements across:
- Branch offices and remote locations
- Data centres and campus networks
- Separate business units or operational environments
- Segmented production networks and security zones
- Cloud-hosted workloads and SaaS applications
- ISP, transit, VPN and remote-access paths
- One or more connected WhatsUp Gold monitoring environments

Local Monitoring vs WhatsUp Gold 360
| Operational requirement | Local monitoring alone | With WhatsUp Gold 360 |
|---|---|---|
| Visibility within an individual network | Detailed local infrastructure monitoring | Local monitoring remains in place |
| Visibility across monitoring environments | Teams review separate consoles | Supported information is brought into one cloud-accessible view |
| Access to distributed monitoring information | May require separate credentials or VPN connections | Authorized teams use a central portal |
| Internet outage awareness | Local alerts may depend on the affected connection | An external heartbeat can notify teams by email or SMS |
| External path investigation | Often relies on manual, point-in-time testing | Continuous measurements provide path and performance history |
| Reporting across deployments | Information may require manual consolidation | Supported reporting information is centrally accessible |
| Future control across environments | Changes are made within individual systems | Planned centralized management will provide cloud-based control |
