I am new to Solarwinds and trying to setup a powershell component monitor to monitor a bitlockers drives status but i cannot get this to produce an output. my script is below can people kindly point out my glaring errors?


$DriveLetter = "C:";
$Error.Clear();

if ( Test-Path $DriveLetter ) { }
else
 {
 Write-Host "Message: Drive Not found"
 exit 1
 }

$computer=$Env:COMPUTERNAME
$BitLockerStatus = Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock{ Get-BitLockerVolume -MountPoint "$DriveLetter" } -ComputerName $computer  -ErrorAction Stop
$BLMP = $BitLockerStatus.MountPoint
$BLLS = $BitLockerStatus.LockStatus
$BLpe = $BitLockerStatus.EncryptionPercentage

if($BitLockerStatus.LockStatus -eq 'Unlocked')
{
Write-Host "Message:" $BLLS
Write-Host "Statistic:" $BLpe
Exit 0
}
else 
{
Write-Host "Message: $BLLS"
Write-Host "Statistic: $BLpe"
Exit 1
}

Use the Statistic command to pass the information back to Solarwinds

i thought i was ?

{
Write-Host "Message:" $BLLS
Write-Host "Statistic:" $BLpe
Exit 0
}
else 
{
Write-Host "Message: $BLLS"
Write-Host "Statistic: $BLpe"
Exit 1

Try using a number for your statistic, that should work. So for example UP = 5, Warning = 10, Critical = 20 in your script logic so Statistic can compare a value in the template. This will change the status.

statistic is a 32BIT Integer, what type of value does it need to be ? the output just comes back as undefined

Right-click Command Prompt and select "Run as Administrator." In command prompt, type "manage-bde -status" and press Enter. View the status of BitLocker on the drives in the computer.

Invoke-Command can't have the arguments passed in that way when it's sent to a remote computer. You need to send them as an argument list.

I think it would need to go something like this:

$BitLockerStatus = Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock { Get-BitLockerVolume -MountPoint ( $args[0] ) } -ComputerName $computer -ErrorAction Stop -ArgumentList ( $DriveLetter )

Review the help documentation on it.
