Need To Get Server Name In PowerShell

jjohnso7 · Post by **jjohnso7** » Fri Sep 09, 2016 3:59 pm

Host Monitor knows what the server name is. Is there any way I can get the ServerName into a PowerShell Script?

What exactly "server" do you have in mind?
Server where HostMonitor is running?
Server where some Remote Monitoring Agent running?
Server checked by some test method?
some other server?

How exactly your script relates to HostMonitor?
Script started by "Execute external program" action assigned to some test item?

Regards
Alex

HostMonitor periodically runs a test on a list of servers. The test calls PowerShell via Shell Script. Maybe Host Monitor could pass the Server Being Tested name via an input parameter.

Sure, you may specify parameters (e.g. Server name) in "Params" field,
then you may use this value in the script.
E.g.
"Params" field:
22 MyServer1
Script:
$statusOk = "ScriptRes:Ok:"
$val = $args[1]
echo $statusOk$val

If parameter contains space symbol, just put it in single quote marks.

If I pass a parameter to PowerShell containing a file path, it goes in a field <Params>. Can I use that variable name in <Params> to pass info to an alert that sends an email with an attachment of the same file name? Like this: Attach File <Params>

You may set file path from "Params" field as Reply, then use %Reply% variable in "Attach file" field of Send e-mail (SMTP) action.
