Custom Powershell Script

Votes:

0

Hi Guys and Gals,

I have setup a Custom EXE/Script sensor to run against our ageing Exchange server, but the script is bringing back a warning error as it runs as well as the correct response (the random 3 value). I was wondering if anyone knows how to ignore the warning messages or turn them off when running my script.

PowerShell Script

#Session setup
$session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.exchange -ConnectionUri "http://<servername>/Powershell" -authentication Kerberos

Import-PSSession -Session $session -AllowClobber |out-null

#Exchange Powershell

Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -Identity <mailboxname> -FolderScope Inbox | Where-Object {$_.FolderPath -eq '/Inbox'} |foreach {$_.ItemsInFolder}

#End PSSession
Remove-PSSession -Session $session

The warning I get back from both running manually and via PRTG is

Response not well-formed: "(WARNING: The names of some imported commands from the module 'tmp_a1g1xqsf.5mm' include unapproved verbs that might make them less discoverable. To find the commands with unapproved verbs, run the Import-Module command again with the Verbose parameter. For a list of approved verbs, type Get-Verb. 3 )" (code: PE132)

Thanks

Andy

Hi there,

in order to have PRTG to be able to handle the data, it has to be well formatte. Please see this link for more information:
https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/custom_sensors#advanced_sensors

Also the Script should run without any errors or warnings outside of PRTG.


Kind regards,
