Docs should cleary state the scope of custom context properties

I'm not new to monitoring, but I am new to WUG, and I found the docs on Context.GetProperty() and Context.PutProperty() to be a bit lacking and misleading.

The tricky part is that the built-in context properties that are included with WUG are accessible from any script monitor for the device, but custom properties that are set by Context.PutProperty() are restricted to that monitor only. Although the docs mention the benefits of using context properties to store values that will persist across polling intervals, nowhere is it stated that custom properties are scoped to a single monitor and not the entire device. Had I known this in the beginning, I would have chosen a different approach to set up delta monitoring for a variety of key performance indicators for DB2 pureScale.

Would you consider adding a sentence or two to clear this up?

 

Thanks
