How to Set Up Monitoring Devices in VBS290

VBS, or Visual Basic Scripting, is a scripting language that can be used to automate tasks in Windows. It is often used for system administration and monitoring tasks. VBS can be used to set up monitoring devices, such as performance counters, event logs, and WMI objects. By monitoring these devices, you can track the performance of your system and identify any potential problems.

To set up a monitoring device in VBS, you will need to create a script that uses the appropriate WMI classes. The following example script creates a performance counter that monitors the CPU usage of the system:```vbs
' Create a performance counter object.
Set perf = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
' Create a new performance counter.
Set counter = ("__Event")
' Set the counter's properties.
= "CPU Usage"
= "CPU usage in percentage"
= "\\Processor(_Total)\\% Processor Time"
' Save the counter.
counter.Put_()
```

This script will create a performance counter that can be used to track the CPU usage of the system. You can view the counter in the Performance Monitor tool.

In addition to performance counters, VBS can also be used to monitor event logs and WMI objects. The following example script creates an event log that monitors the application log:```vbs
' Create an event log object.
Set eventLog = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2:='Application'")
' Create a new event log.
Set log = ("MyApplicationLog")
' Set the log's properties.
= "C:Windows\System32
= 7
' Save the log.
log.Put_()
```

This script will create an event log that can be used to track the application log. You can view the log in the Event Viewer tool.

VBS is a powerful tool that can be used to monitor a variety of devices and systems. By using VBS, you can track the performance of your system and identify any potential problems.
