Adding and editing an Active Script Active Monitor
The Active Script monitor lets 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. A variety of active script resources are available on the Active Scripts Resource page
(http://www.whatsupgold.com/script_library).
Note: Ipswitch does not support any custom scripts you create, only the ability to use them
in the Active Script monitor.
For more information, see Extending WhatsUp Gold with scripting (on page 909).
After configuring an active monitor in the Active Monitor Library, add the monitor to devices

Assigning active monitors
After you configure an active monitor in the Active Monitor Library, you must add it to the
individual devices for which you want to monitor services.
Note: When you assign an active monitor to a device, an instance of the monitor is added to
the device. Changes that you make to the monitor configuration via the Active Monitor
Library affect all instances of the monitor. For example, if you assign a monitor to four
separate devices and then make changes to the monitor from the Active Monitor Library, all
four instances of the monitor adopt the changes.
