About the System Script Library

The WhatsConfigured Default Script Library stores various pre-configured scripts configured for use with WhatsConfigured configuration tasks. You can add to this script library by adding new scripts or copying and modifying existing scripts.

The Default Script Library was designed to allow you to create scripts to override WhatsConfigured's pre-configured, global scripts for specific functions, such as backup running config scripts or password change scripts. For example, you could create a script for backing up the running config for Cisco devices by copying an existing backup config script and modifying the script to map to a Cisco OID. As such, the script would serve as the new default backup config script for Cisco devices, backing up the running config for all devices that support the Cisco OID you specified in the script.

To access the Default Script Library:

On the WhatsUp Gold web interface, go to Configured > System Script Library.

By default, the library displays pre-configured scripts for all devices. By filtering by a specific device, or group of devices, you can see which default scripts can be used with that device or filter.

To configure new or existing scripts:

Note: The Edit, Delete, and Export buttons are disabled for the pre-configured system scripts, as you cannot modify or remove system scripts.
