Script Check

To monitor your Windows servers and workstations, you can add system default script checks, or your own user defined script checks, to the devices. When you add a script check, configure the required parameter values.

Before adding a script check to a device, upload the script to the All Devices view. For upload instructions, see Add a script to Script Manager.

You can suppress check alerts until the number of consecutive check failures reaches the configured threshold. For details, see Configure alert thresholds to suppress alerts.Reviewed: 06 November 2025 (DK)

    To prevent the removal of a leading zero in command-line arguments, any part of the command that begins with 0 is wrapped in \ so the full argument is preserved during execution or processing.

  7. To run an automated task when a check fails, select Assign a Task after creating the Check.
  8. Select Finish to save and apply the check.

If you selected Assign a Task:

Script argument handling (Windows)

For the Windows Agent, script arguments entered in the Script Parameters, Command Line field of the custom Script Check and Automated Task dialog are passed to the script exactly as they would be if entered directly on the device itself.

You can run custom scripts on servers and workstations using this product, but we don’t manage or validate them. We’re not liable for system, hardware, or data loss. Customers or developers must confirm the integrity and impact of any custom scripts.

Test the check on the Windows Agent

After a check is synchronized, go to the Script Check tab under the 24x7 section. Highlight the required script and select Test Check.

The Agent includes details about the Script Check, such as the script description, test parameter arguments, the script language, and time out period.
