Alert trigger: Execute external program Powershell commands do not work

Hi all,

I am trying to setup an alert trigger to stop a service in case the CPU is running at 100% for more then 15 minutes.

The external program to execute command i am trying is : powershell stop-Service -InputObject $(Get-Service -Computer computer1 -Name "service name")

If i check the alert event it shows that the command executed corectly but the service dose not stop.

If i run it directly from powershell on the Orion server it works perfectly.

On the same server the Start-Service works using the same sintax.

Anyone has any idea on how to actualy stop a service using the alert trigger ?

You should be able to use this built in EXE with SolarWinds to start/stop/restart a windows service.

It can't find powershell. I copied powershell.exe to the ..\SolarWinds\Orion\APM directory and I execute PS scripts like this:

APM\powershell.exe "C:\script.ps1"
