Using the WhatsConfigured Task Script Library

The WhatsConfigured Task Script Library displays all task scripts currently configured for use in WhatsConfigured tasks.

Two pre-configured task scripts are available for use in WhatsConfigured.

Backup Running Config
Backup Startup Config

Backup Running Config

The backup running config task script makes a backup copy of a device's running config and stores it in the WhatsUp Gold database. After you have made a backup copy of a running config, you can restore it on the device at any time for as long as the copy is stored in the database.

Tip: You can set the number of maximum configuration files to store in WhatsUp Gold database on the New WhatsConfigured Task dialog's Schedule tab.

You can view a device's current and archived config files on the Device Properties - Tasks dialog.

Backup Startup Config

The backup running config task script makes a backup copy of a device's startup config and stores it in the WhatsUp Gold database. After you have made a backup copy of a startup config, you can restore it on the device at any time for as long as the copy is stored in the database.

Tip: You can set the number of maximum configuration files to store in WhatsUp Gold database on the New WhatsConfigured Task dialog's Schedule tab.

You can view a device's current and archived config files on the Device Properties - Tasks dialog.

Task Script Library

Use the WhatsConfigured Task Script Library to configure new or existing task scripts:

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

Click New to configure a new task script.
Select a custom task script, then click Edit to change its configuration.
Select a custom task script, then click Copy to make a duplicate of the selected task script.
Select a custom task script, then click Delete to remove it from the library.
Caution: When you delete a non-default task script from the WhatsConfigured Task Script Library, it is removed from all tasks that are using that task script.
On the WhatsUp Gold console, select a task script, then click Run Now to run the task script immediately.
Note: The option to run a script on demand via the Task Script Library is not available on the WhatsUp Gold web interface.
Select a custom task script, then click Export to export it as an XML file.
Click Import to import an XML file into the library.
Note: Modifying XML files or attempting to create an XML file from scratch can invalidate a script file.
