Hello Jason,
Thank you for your collaboration, I want to ask you, I understand that I must create a Monitor (Active Script Monitor) and replace the variables with mine, and then assign that monitor to the host that I want the alert. Did I understand correctly?
Hi Rhael,
The script is to create in Active Script Action method, (reference: https://docs.progress.com/bundle/whatsupgold-user-help-23-0/page/Active-Script-Action_2.html).
Yes, to replace with the percent variables, depends on details requried and monitor assignment, which can be assigned to Device, Active Monitor, Passive Monitor..
Thanks.
Hi Jason, I was creating the VBscript as shown in the example, generated a simple active monitor and replaced the token and chat id with the one we created, but we have had no luck. I would appreciate it if you have a little more documentation or if you have an example of an active monitor with an example variable: %ActiveMonitor.State
Hi, the script above, is to be assigned at Device > Action.
Action Alert with variable %ActiveMonitor.State need to associate with Active Monitor > Action directly.
reference: https://docs.progress.com/bundle/whatsupgold-user-help-23-0/page/Percent-Variables.html
Thanks Jason, I had a comment sign error that prevented me from executing the script.
Thank you so much
