PowerShell support beyond v2?

I think you meant to say SNMP is deprecated, not PowerShell.

As for PowerShell version compatibility, we have tested SAM against all current versions of PowerShell, including PowerShell v5.0. We are not aware of any issues with any version of PowerShell and SAM's PowerShell Script Monitor.

Doh!  Yes, I did mean to say SNMP.  Vacation brain got in the way of thinking brain.

Can we get the SAM documentation updated to reflect that PowerShell is supported up to, and including, v5?  I know it means potentially pushing out PowerShell updates to a bunch of servers, but its good to know that we can run those versions in SAM.

Cheers!

SAM's PowerShell monitor is version independent. There are no real PowerShell version requirements, outside of some specific features/capabilities that are tied to PowerShell, such as remoting that was introduced in PowerShell 2.0.

The documentation isn't clear that PowerShell v2 is a minimum requirement -- it reads like only v2 is supported.

Fare statement. Honestly that isn't a requirement and shouldn't be listed as such. I'll let Bronx know. SAM's PowerShell Script Monitor works with PowerShell 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, etc. PowerShell remoting however was added by Microsoft starting with PowerShell 2.0, so for PowerShell remoting (Such as with AppInsight for Exchange or AppInsight for IIE) PowerShell 2.0 or greater is required. If local PowerShell execution is all that is required, than 1.0 or 1.1 will suffice.
