Using the Context object with Active Monitors
The context object provides an interface for your script to interact with WhatsUp Gold.
All methods and properties are retrieved using the Context namespace.
Methods Method description
LogMessage(sText); This method allows for a message to be written to the WhatsUp
Gold debug log.
Example
JScript
Context.LogMessage( "Checking Monitor name using
Context.GetProperty()");
VBScript
Context.LogMessage "Checking Address using Context.GetProperty()"
PutProperty(sPropertyName); This method allows you to store a value in the INMSerialize object.
This value is retained across polls.
Example
JScript
var nCount = parselnt(nNum) +1;
Context.PutProperty("MyNumeric",nCount);
SetResult(nCode, sText); This method allows for a result code and result message to be set.
This is how you can tell the WhatsUp Gold system if the monitor
succeeded or not.
Every script should call SetResult. If SetResult is not called, the
script is always assumed to have succeeded.
Example
JScript
Context.SetResult(0, "Script completed successfully.");
//Success
Context.SetResult(1, "An error occurred."); //Failure
VBScript
Context.SetResult 1, "An error occurred."
