Running a scheduled task immediately

You can run a task on demand from either the Device Properties - Tasks dialog, or from the WhatsConfigured Task Library.

Note: If you run the task from Device Properties the task only runs for that specific device. If you run the task from the Task Library, the task runs for any device to which it is assigned.

To run a task immediately from Device Properties:

  1. In the Device List or Map View, right-click a device, then click Properties. The Device Properties dialog appears.
  2. Click Tasks. The Tasks section of Device Properties appears.
  3. Under Tasks attached to this device, select a task, then click Run Now to perform the selected task immediately.

To run a task immediately from the Task Library:

  1. On the WhatsUp Gold console, select Configure > WhatsConfigured Task Library. The WhatsConfigured Task Library appears.
  2. Select the scheduled task that you would like to run at this time, then click Run Now.

Tip: To view the task's results, see the WhatsConfigured Task Log.
