The
Sentry-go Monitoring System utilises scripts in two ways ...
- Responses &
alerts can be defined as scripts - for example, when performing an action to
resolve a problem or when sending messages via SMS.
- If you're running
the Sentry-go Scripting monitor, you can provide your own monitoring in the form of a
command, command-line tool, file or script.
Typically, these scripts would be created as VBScripts, coded manually and
tailored to your individual needs. But if you have little or no knowledge of
programming and do not have access to such resources, writing scripts like these can be a
confusing and often daunting task.
The Sentry-go Scripting Wizard solves this in two ways ...
- Firstly where available, it provides details and example of how the script
should be called and the values/output returned from it. This helps you define
the script to Sentry-go, how to call it and what to expect in terms of results.
- Secondly, it can also help you generate a number of files &
scripts without the need for any coding or programming knowledge at all!
Using its
simple interface, all you do is select the appropriate template - based on what
you want it to do, answer a few questions and then let the Wizard do the rest!
The Sentry-go Scripting Wizard is integrated into the Sentry-go Client Console & can be called directly from there.
For developers, an API is also provided, allowing you to write your own scripts
for others in your organisation to use.
