Which monitor types are supported by WhatsUp Gold Failover Manager?

WhatsUp Gold Failover Manager supports all Active and Performance Monitors. Passive monitors like Syslog and SNMP traps are typically not supported as they require a destination IP address to be set in the monitored device. When the system fails over from Primary to Secondary, the WhatsUp Gold server IP address changes – and it no longer receives the messages from the devices. For Flow Monitor, the flow sources (including Flow Publisher installations) can be configured with both Primary and Secondary IP addresses so that they route flow statistics to both destinations. The Secondary merely discards the flow records until it takes over as the Primary system. Windows Event based passive monitors are supported by Failover as they are configured on the same host system running WhatsUp Gold and Failover.
