Writing your own monitoring functions

Introduction

NOTE: GFI Support cannot assist you in the writing and debugging of custom scripts. You must be familiar with VBscript to write your own functions and you must debug them yourself.

GFI Network Server Monitor is designed to let operators write their own monitor functions and use them in the product. GFI uses VBScript because it is the most popular scripting language in Windows environments.

GFI Network Server Monitor uses VBscript itself to perform a number of checks. In fact, during installation, five VBScript files are installed:

ads.vbs - includes monitor functions based on ADSI (Active Directory Service Interfaces);
exchange.vbs - includes monitor functions that can check Exchange 2000/2003 servers;
hardware.vbs - includes hardware related monitor functions;
os.vbs - includes Operating System related monitor functions;
sample.vbs - includes some sample functions.
