Overview

The PowerShell Repository Event Monitor runs custom scripts that you create and add to FrameFlow's PowerShell Repository. When you make changes to the scripts in the repository, all PowerShell Repository Event Monitors using those scripts automatically get the changes.

Use Cases

• Executing multiple custom PowerShell scripts
• Creating monitoring actions for niche or legacy systems

Monitoring Options

This event monitor provides the following options:

Execution Mode

This option will send an alert of your choice if the script outputs warnings.

Alert with [Info/Warning/Error/Critical] if the script outputs errors

This option will alert you if there are errors in the script's output.

Alert with [Info/Warning/Error/Critical] if the repository script was not found

Specify Options for Device Discovery in This Script

Enable this option to select a device group that newly discovered devices will be deposited into.

Pause previously discovered devices if they are no longer found in the script output

This option will pause devices if they were discovered in past event monitor runs and are now missing from the script output.

Move previously discovered devices if they are no longer found in the script output

This option will move devices to a folder of your choice if they were discovered in past event monitor runs and are now missing from the script output.

Remove previously discovered devices if they are no longer found in the script output

This option will remove devices if they were discovered in past event monitor runs and are now missing from the script output.

Devices to Ignore

Enter device names to ignore, with each new name on a separate line. These devices will be ignored by the event monitor.

Execute the PowerShell Script Remotely

Check this box to execute the PowerShell script remotely.

Include the Script Output

Enable this option to include the script output in the event text generated each time the event monitor runs.

Include the Verbose Script Output (Requires $VerbosePreference = "Continue")

This option lets you include the verbose script output in the event text.

Include the Debug Script Output (Requires $DebugPreference = "Continue")

Check this box to include the debug script output in the event monitor text generated each time it runs.

Authentication and Security

Your script will run on the FrameFlow main console (or on the remote node in a multi-site configuration). If the script accesses other network devices, it will require credentials with sufficient rights to perform its task.

Data Points

The data points generated by any scripting event monitor depend on the custom monitoring action it performs.
