Custom Script

We've written this script to extract some counter data from our software, The output looks to be formatted correctly but we are still getting the "XML: Junk after document element </prtg> -- JSON: The returned JSON does not match the expected structure (Invalid JSON.). (code: PE231)" error.

The values shown in the output are static, just trying to get something into prtg for now.

Below is the script and output.

Script

$baseURL = "http://ourservice/api/v1/"
$view = "ourservice"
$userName = ""
$password = ""
$application = "PRTG"
#$tagsToRead = @(($view + ".{Diagnostics}.Reading.TagHandles"); ($view + ".{Diagnostics}.Reading.NumClients"))
$tagsToRead = @(($view + ".{Diagnostics}.Reading.TagHandles"))

$authReqBody = "{ 'username':'$userName', 'password':'$password', 'timezone':'Eastern Standard Time', 'application':'$application' }"
$userToken = (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $baseURL"getUserToken" -Method POST -Body $authReqBody | ConvertFrom-Json).userToken
$tagJson = $tagsToRead -join "','"
$reqBody = "{ 'userToken':'$userToken', 'tags': ['" + $tagJson + "'] }"
$tagData = (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri http://ourservice/api/v1/getTagData -Method POST -Body $reqBody).Content

$hashtable = @{}
(ConvertFrom-Json $tagData).psobject.properties | Foreach { $hashtable[$_.Name] = $_.Value }

$hashtableData = @{}
foreach ($prop in $hashtable['data'].PSObject.Properties)
{
	$hashtableData[$prop.Name] = $prop.Value[1]
}
