Powershell Component Monitor - Return a list?

csensbach

Hello, I am new to setting up component monitors so I am not sure if what I want to do is possible.

I would like to run a Powershell script that polls our RD Gateway servers and returns a list of users that are currently connected through the Gateway as well as the number of people connected. I have no problem getting the script to return the number of people connected but I cannot get it to return an array of values. It seems that it only wants to return a single line.

My ultimate goal is to setup a view in Solarwinds which will display this information for each Gateway server.

I have tried returning a single varaiable that contains the entire array as well as trying to return each line, one by one (which is below). Neither worked.

#number of sessions on the gateway

$numSessions = 0

#Cycle through each connection

foreach ($curitem in (Get-WmiObject -class "Win32_TSGatewayConnection" -ComputerName servername -namespace "root\cimv2\TerminalServices") ) {

     $returnVal = $curitem | select username
     Write-Host "Message.$numSessions : $returnVal"

     $numSessions++
}

Write-Host "Statistic.List: $numSessions"
exit 0;

Is what I want to do possible? If so, how do I return a list of values? If not, is there another way to do Powershell reporting through Solarwinds that I have overlooked.

Thanks in advance for any help.

You could try to concat all your return values into one string with "<br/>" between the values so it should look nice.

For example:

#number of sessions on the gateway

$numSessions = 0

$output = @()

#Cycle through each connection

foreach ($curitem in (Get-WmiObject -class "Win32_TSGatewayConnection" -ComputerName servername -namespace "root\cimv2\TerminalServices") ) {

     $returnVal = $curitem | select username

     $output+= "<br/>"

     $output+= $returnVal

     $numSessions++
}

Write-Host "Statistic.List: $numSessions"

Write-Host "Message.List: List of Users $output"

exit 0;
