Jim,
WhatsUp Gold does not delete or clean up the logs by default.
You can configure WhatsUp Gold to do this: Configure->Program Options->Logging.
It does perform (by default) a weekly roll-over of the logs. Which are named
as such: ST-yyy-mm-dd.tab (stats) or EV-yyyy-mm-dd.tab (events).
You can try the various WhatsUp Gold reports: Reports->(Performance Graphs, Event or
Statistic Reports).
You can also use the recurring notifications facility to launch WhatsUp Gold
reports or your own external reporting methods on a periodic basis.
Here is a Knowledge Base article on the topic:
