• Description. Enter a short description about the action. This description displays next to the action in the Actions Library.
• Program file name. Enter the file path where the working files for the application are stored.
• Working path. Enter the file path where the working files for the application are stored. The working path is located on the server where WhatsUp Gold is running.
• Program arguments. Enter any percent variables you want to pass to the specified program. Additionally, you can use the System, Device, and/or Monitor dropdown menus within the dialog to automatically insert supported variables.
