Example Active Script Performance Monitors
These scripts demonstrate a few potential uses of Active Script Performance Monitors. To
view other Active Script Performance Monitors created by other WhatsUp Gold users, visit the
WhatsUp Gold user community (http://www.whatsupgold.com/wugspace).
Graphing printer ink level percent utilization (on page 931)
Poll a reference variable and perform a calculation (on page 932)
Graph a temperature monitor (on page 933)
Poll the storage table using SNMP GetNext (on page 934)
Poll multiple reference variables (on page 935)
Graphing printer ink level utilization
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 performance monitor uses two reference variables to poll and compute the ink level
percent utilization of a printer for later graphing.
Note: This was tested on an HP MIB.
Run the SNMP MIB Walker net tool to check the OIDs of the two reference variables and
eventually adjust their instance (1.1 in this example):
1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.8.1.1 and 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.9.1.1.
// prtMarkerSuppliesLevel is an snmp reference variable defined with an OID or 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.9 and an instance of 1.1
// prtMarkerSuppliesMaxCapacity is an snmp reference variable defined with an OID or 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.8 and an instance of
1.1
Context.LogMessage("Print the current marker level");
var prtMarkerSuppliesLevel = Context.GetReferenceVariable("prtMarkerSuppliesLevel");
Context.LogMessage("Print the maximum marker level");
var prtMarkerSuppliesMaxCapacity = Context.GetReferenceVariable("prtMarkerSuppliesMaxCapacity");
