Note: This script action has a context object you can use to get specific information about the context of the action.
Note: We have provided several code samples for you to create useful script actions for your devices.

To add a new Active Script action:
Note: Though the maximum timeout is 60 seconds, you are discouraged from using a timeout longer than the default of 10 seconds. You are encouraged to use the shortest timeout possible.
Note: We do not recommend that you use percent variables in script text, because they may resolve to text containing special characters (' ' (quotes), " " (double-quotes), % (percent), new line characters, and the like) that may break your script.
Tip: To check the status of an action, or to cancel an action, in the WhatsUp Gold console go to Tools > Running Actions.
