Powershell Monitor and Script Output

t0ta11ed74

I've been trying to figure out how to add a new line to the script output so that when we view the Message field in the Orion web interface, it displays that way instead of one continuous line. Nothing I try works. Using <br> works when testing the script output, but when viewing the web resource, it shows the <br> tag. And `n doesn't appear to work at all....Any pointers?

I have recently been able to get this to work on one of my PowerShell monitors. The <BR> tag does work for me but I may be doing it in a different method than you are.  A copy of the section of your script where you are getting the output may be helpful.

In my case am outputting the last 10 lines of a Robocopy log file and wanted to keep the formatting intact so I used the &nbsp and a courier font to keep everything look as it does in the text file.

Here is a portion of the code...

$Msg = ""

$I = 0

While ($I -lt 10){

    $Msg = $Msg + ($EndLog[$i] -replace " ", "&nbsp") + "<BR>" #Adds non-breaking spaces and line breaks for HTML output

    $I++

}

$Msg = '<font face="Courier New">' + $Msg + "</font>" # Use courier font to maintain character spacing.

Write-Host "Message.Status: $Msg"
