Just check for "SSL Certificate expires soon" on a url like http://www.digicert.com/help/ssl_check?host=amazon.com.
Hey, guys, I'm checking into this for you, but I believe that when a monitor is set to critical, it has to follow the device's poll frequency (from Device Properties > Polling page). It wouldn't work to have a critical monitor poll every 20 minutes, but all of the others that are dependent on critical one poll every 3.
Ah, that's a hairier problem, but still doable. You can set the Comment on each instance of the Active Script Active Monitor to the variable, then reference it in your script using %ActiveMonitor.Comment.
Have you checked out v14 yet? It introduces the SQL Query Monitor, which might be useful for you from the sounds of what you've described.

strQuery = "select count(*) as 'output' from dbo.Meter_reading_tbl
where (ChannelSeqNo_i=%Device.Attribute.ChannelSeqNo_i) and (ReadingDatetime_sdt > GETDATE() - .08)"You can use bulk field changes to set the attribute values, too, to speed things.
The Email Monitor active monitor (available in v12+, Premium Edition) does just that. Sends and retrieves an email message from a mail server using SMTP to send and POP3 or IMAP to retrieve.

The HTTP Content active monitor got an overhaul in v14, which does just that.

We improved our documentation on scripting for v14. Here's a direct link to the new documentation on scripting performance monitors: http://docs.ipswitch.com/NM/88_WhatsUp%20Gold%20v14/03_Help/26252.htm
Hi, adri,
What specifically are you trying to monitor (disk space? interface utilization? something entirely different?)? We may have something built in to do it already.
If not, the custom performance monitor script you need should be fairly straight forward (pull a value via SNMP, transmform it in javascript, and save it). Check out the documentation on scripting performance monitors. We've improved it for v14 release: http://docs.ipswitch.com/NM/88_WhatsUp%20Gold%20v14/03_Help/26252.htm
No worries! The clay on this thing isn't dry yet, so we're still shaping it as we need to. Let me know if there are any other improvements you think would be good.
Hey, Mike,
Quick search for "mobile" turned up this: http://ipswitch.hivelive.com/posts/28b6345518
Only posts that may not be here on wugSpace were those that were started in the three or four days before wugSpace launched. We had an unanticipated lag between when we migrated the content and when we could launch, so a dozen or so of the most recent topics got marooned.
Also, I pulled the ability to add a file attachment a week ago to try to reduce clutter--couldn't remember a post that had a non-image attachment. Since you've proven it's usefulness, I've added it back. You should see it if you edit the post.
