# Lua Task Configuration Parameters

This section describes the parameters you can use to set up Lua scripts to monitor services. For example:

    [LuaTasks]
    NumberOfLuaTasks=1
    LuaTaskDirectory=/scripts/luaScripts

    [LuaTask0]
    Name=CheckGetStatus
    Description=Checks action=GetStatus
    ScriptName=GetStatus.lua
    TimeIntervalBetweenTaskRuns=10

The Lua scripting language has a simple procedural syntax. The `scripts/luascripts` directory contains sample scripts to help you write your own scripts, and he first edition of Programming in Lua is available online at: http://www.lua.org/pil/.
