Logmon - command with powershell

[Philippe-Andre Trottier]

Hey everyone. I am trying to run a powershell script with logmon (command mode) and get the output of that script with a watcher.   Right now it doesn't look like a success (the script doesn't seem to run or the output is not catched by the watcher.

The script is pretty simple: I do a invoke-webrequest on a webpage and it return either an output  OK or ERROR.  I don't use URL response for various reasons...

So here's my configuration from IM:  Does it seem ok? 



Here is the script: 

try
{
$Response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "www.google.ca"
# This will only execute if the Invoke-WebRequest is successful.
$StatusCode = $Response.StatusCode
}
catch
{
$StatusCode = $_.Exception.Response.StatusCode.value__
}

if ($StatusCode -like '404')
{
echo OK
}
Else
{
$StatusCode
echo ERROR
}

Set the log level to 5 on logmon and run the profile - should log the errors there

Have you verified that the account running the probe can run powershell? 

Have you tried creating a cmd/bat file that echos "OK" to verify that everything else works ok?

Looks like it works with a batch file. I've created a batch to execute the PS1 file and nimsoft accepts it. It works now.

thanks !

Hi Philippe-Andre,

this is exactly what we are doing: start the batch file to start powershell. Just for the sake of the next man looking at this, here is a sample Batch file:

@C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& '.\nameOfPowershellScript.ps1'"

where the batch and script file are in the same folder.

You shouldn't even need a batch file - just paste the powershell.exe line directly into logmon:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -file "E:\Nimsoft\custom_scripts\check_shares.ps1"
