Windows PowerShell is a scripting language and command-line shell that system administrators can use to manage Windows operating systems. For more information on PowerShell, please visit the Microsoft web site.
The PowerShell Scripting performance monitor allows the experienced user to perform a wide variety of monitoring tasks through direct access to script component libraries, including the .NET Framework. The Windows PowerShell scripting language can be used in conjunction with WhatsUp Gold to help you monitor, control, manage, and automate Windows operating system activities. For example, you might implement a script to look for a process and report the current number of threads in the process. Or, you might implement a script to look for idle time levels and log the results. For more information and examples of PowerShell performance monitors, see Example - PowerShell performance monitor scripts.
Note: This feature is available with WhatsUp Gold Premium Edition only. To update your license, visit the WhatsUp Customer Portal.
