About Device Properties - Menus

In the WhatsUp Gold console, you can use the Menu dialog to create a custom context menu for a device. Context menus are custom menu items that appear when you right-click a device; they serve as "shortcuts" to launch applications.

The menu item can launch programs based on the command line you enter. You can also append command line arguments, including WhatsUp Gold Percent Variable arguments to include device IP address, device host name, and other types of percent variable arguments. When you select the new menu item, the associated command is launched with the arguments that were included in the device's custom menu configuration.

• Customize the menu on this device (don't use device type menu). Select this option to create and/or modify a context menu for this device. This overrides any separate context menu that has already been created for the device type of the device.
• Menu list. This box displays the commands that are currently configured for the device. After an item has been configured, it appears on the context (right-click) menu. When you click the menu command, the menu command is executed.
  • Click Add to add a new menu command.
  • Select a Menu Name, then click Edit to change the settings.
