TIPS AND TRICKS

WhatsUp Gold Guru Video

Need to Enable SNMP on your Windows Devices?
There is a wealth of information about your Windows devices available via SNMP – from CPU, memory and disk utilization to internal temperature – but configuring Windows to let you at it can be a challenge. In this short SNMP video, WhatsUp Guru - Jason Williams, shows you how to quickly and easily harness this valuable information.

WhatsUp Twitter?
Are there any twitter fans out there? Want to notify your customers instantaneously when a device like a Web server goes down? Here’s a quick script for an action that posts device status to your Twitter account. By following your Twitter stream or subscribing to its RSS feed, your customers can check on the status of the devices they depend on without flooding your phone lines.

Copy and Paste into an Active Script Action, which is then applied to devices:

Dim xml
Set xml = createObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

'Update to include your account's username and password.
sUser = "username"
sPass = "password"

sStatus = "WhatsUp Gold says, '%Device.DisplayName %Device.State at %System.Time on %System.Date'"

xml.Open "POST", "http://" & sUser & ":" & sPass & "@twitter.com/statuses/update.xml?status=" & sStatus, False
xml.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "content=text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
xml.Send

Context.SetResult 0, xml.responseText
Set xml = Nothing
