This section explains how to use the native development tools included in WhatsUp Gold to extend the product beyond its stock capabilities with Active Script Active Monitors, Performance Monitors, and Actions.
WhatsUp Gold includes three types of Active Scripts, which allow you to write custom JScript and VBScript code to do tasks that WhatsUp Gold cannot natively perform.
Active scripts can be written in JScript or VBScript. For more information on either of these languages, consult the MSDN Language Reference for that language.
Note: Not all aspects of JScript and VBScript can be used in Active Scripts. In general, any function or method that involves the user interface level, such as VBScript's MsgBoxes
or JScript's alert()
, are not allowed.
