Scheduling a Recurring Action
Complete the following fields, and then click Finish.
Enable Schedule. Select this option to activate the recurring action schedule; clear
the option to disable the recurring report schedule.
Blackout Schedule. Click this button to access the Weekly Blackout Schedule dialog.
Monthly. Select the time, day, and month or months you want the action to fire. The
action only fires during the month selected from this list. Quarterly actions can be
created by selecting the last day of each quarter.
If a day is entered that does not exist in a selected month (September 31, February 30,
etc.) then the action is fired on the last day of that month.
Weekly. Select the day and time each week you want the action to fire.
To fire an action more frequently than daily, select Every _ minutes and enter a number
of minutes for WhatsUp Gold to wait before firing the recurring action.
Note: To schedule multiple time periods, you must create another recurring action.
Scheduling maintenance
Select the day and time you want the device to be placed in maintenance mode, and when
you want WhatsUp Gold to restart polling. You can select multiple days for a single time
period. To schedule multiple time periods, you must create another maintenance entry.
Click OK to add the schedule to the device.
Note: When in maintenance mode, device active monitors will not be polled, actions will not
be triggered, and logging activity is disabled. To resume polling, actions, and logging, take
the device out of maintenance mode.
Using Admin Scheduled features
The Scheduled Reports functionality allows you to manage all scheduled reports that the
WhatsUp Event Analyst Service is responsible for producing on a regular basis. You can
schedule a new report, edit an existing report's settings, delete a report from the scheduling
database, or perform a test run of a scheduled report.
