OpManager's script monitoring helps you execute your home-grown scripts and alerts you with the script output. It supports PowerShell, Linux shell script, VBScript, Perl and Python scripts out-of-the-box. In this page, the most commonly used script templates have been compiled; these templates can be imported to OpManager to make your network monitoring easier. You can assign this template to a device to get script outputs.
For steps on how to create, add, test, and associate script templates among other activities, please check this page.
The import/export template option is useful when you want to share a custom template you created with the community or import a template from the community.
