Determine invalid user account activity
Note: This example is provided as an illustration only and is not supported. Technical support
is available for the Context object, SNMP API, and scripting environment, but Ipswitch does
not provide support for JScript, VBScript, or developing and debugging Active Script
monitors or actions. For assistance with this example or with writing your own scripts, visit
the WhatsUp Gold user community (http://www.whatsupgold.com/wugspace).
This active monitor will change a device's state to Down if an invalid, or unexpected user
account logs on. The monitor will stay up if the valid, expected account is logged on, or if no
one is logged on.
sComputer = Context.GetProperty("Address")
nDeviceID = Context.GetProperty("DeviceID")
'Assuming ICMP is not blocked and there's a ping monitor on the device, we want to
'perform the actual check only if the Ping monitor is up. ConnectServer method of
'the SWbemLocator has a long time out so it would be good to avoid unnecessary tries.
'Please note: there's no particular polling order of active monitors on a device.
'During each polling cycle, it's possible that this monitor could be polled before
'Ping is polled. If the network connection just goes down but Ping is not polled yet,
'and therefore still has an up state, this active monitor will still do an actual
'check and experience a real down. But for the subsequent polls, it won't be doing a
'real check (ConnectServer won't be called) as Ping monitor has a down state, and this
'monitor will be assumed down.
If IsPingUp(nDeviceID) = false Then
Else
Context.SetResult 1,"Actual check was not performed due to ping being down. Automatically set to down."
