Active Script (Active)

The Active Script monitor allows you write either VBScript or JScript code to perform specific customized checks on a device. If the script returns an error code, the monitor is considered Down.

Provide a unique name and description for the monitor, then configure the following:

• Timeout. Enter the length of time WhatsUp Gold attempts to connect to the selected device. When the specified time is exceeded without connecting, a timeout occurs and WhatsUp Gold stops trying to connect to the server. This is considered a failed connection.
• Script Type. Select either VBScript or JScript.
• Use in rescan. Enable this option to have the monitor appear in Device Properties. If enabled, clicking Refresh Connectivity within the Device Properties interface adds the monitor to the selected device if the applicable protocol or service is active on that device.
• Script text. Enter the actual script code for the monitor to run.
