Windows Powshell monitor?

Question

Hi All,

I am trying to get a powershell script to work in solarwinds, however i am having issues and output result comes back as not defined.

I have tested the script from powershell on the Solarwinds server and this runs fine, i just cant get it to run from the SAM template

can anyone let me know where im going wrong, script is a two liner and have it as below

Thanks

Solarwinds is pretty particular about what output your script should present. Some things to try:

* Go overboard with error handling, throw the meat of your script into a TRY/CATCH block and make sure that your script can  grab terminating errors and fail gracefully while still generating console output that Solarwinds expects.
* Build your script around the Solarwinds output. You could do some testing by just making a basic script that writes the console output Solarwinds wants, then puzzle your actual script into it and test.
* Makes sure you are using a good set of creds, if your 2-liner is throwing a credential error, it could cause some unexpected results.

I have attached a template Solarwinds Powershell Monitor script I use to base a lot of my PoSH component monitors.
