What is SerioScript, and what is a Plugin?

SerioScript is a language built into IT Service View that allows you to create Plugins.

A Plugin is really a series of SerioScript statements that operate on data that IT Service View has polled, and optionally Device Property Definitions. This documentation uses the word Plugin and SerioScript interchangeably.

This online book describes SerioScript. You can also examine the Plugins that are distributed with IT Service View to see how they work, and to create your own.

The SerioScript language supports basic types including booleans, numbers, dates, strings and arrays and provides a set of standard functions for manipulating these variables.

Loops, conditionals, case statements and user defined functions are supported to allow the creation of structured, maintainable Plugins.
