Configuring Tasks
Use the task group to define Lua functions that are executed periodically by the Lua Script Resource (LSR), such as background tasks, resource monitoring, event firing, and so on. These tasks allow you to introduce any customized functionality that you may need. You should follow the general pattern shown in the sample below:
tasks.Compare = function(me)
-- Do task
end
The following table describes the parameters that you can use to configure tasks:
Parameter
Description
task.nameOfTask

me
Create a table that refers to the Thing.
end
Define the end of the Lua function that defines the task.
