Using a Recurring action
Hello, I have a VB script that goes into a device and pulls out information from an SQL Database then sends it off in an e-mail. I would like this action to happen on  a schedule, not a trigger (hence recurring action not Active Monitor). I need this action to happen on a multitude of devices. My assumptions: I should write my code in a Active Script Action Question: How do i make this Active Script Action happen on a schedule for specified devices? -Nick

    You can actually skip step 2, for it is not needed.  You will need to write the script to pull only those device.  you can do that by doing adding an Attribute that the script can look for in a query or look for the device type.

    to be honest I am not sure if there is something in the library or not.  I know you can embed an SQL query in a script.  You might see if anyone here has time to help you write it. unfortunately I do not. 
    If you have it in the budget, there is always professional services, here at ipswitch, that can help

    The reoccurring action does not have a way to say run only against certain devices, so it has to be done via the script.  I can think of a few ways around it, but it would actually require more work and possibly more scripting.

    I see.... Is there a way to do it like i explained? Or perhaps another method?
    I only ask because while i am good at VB, I am not that good.

    I see, and thank you for your help.
    Last question. Know where i can find some script that would let me choose which devices to dive into?

    Alright, so
    1) make the Action
    2) in the console add the action to the devices i want
    3) on the web browser make that action recurring
