Hi,

I am trying to create a Dashboard view to list the Grayed Out servers in my SCOM 2012 environment by using the script below but it does not work as expected.

Is there something wrong with this script or could you suggest me any other solution please?

Hi,

Get-SCOMClass -Name "Microsoft.SystemCenter.Agent" | Get-SCOMClassInstance | ? {$_.isAvailable -eq $false}

Try some of these:

Thanks for your reply Alexis.

I managed to create it myself :)

I actually wanted include both the server state HealthState (Not Monitored) and Availability (Grayed out) list  and export it to a file.

However, I would like to create a Dashboard view with Powershell widget and view these servers there but I could not make it work.

Do you have any suggestions how to make this work?

Thanks.

$WCC = get-monitoringclass -name "Microsoft.SystemCenter.Agent"
$MO = Get-MonitoringObject -monitoringclass:$WCC | where {$_.IsAvailable -eq $false}
$MO | select DisplayName

See if the above works

Hi, something like this?

$Agents = Get-SCOMClass -Name "Microsoft.SystemCenter.Agent" | Get-SCOMClassInstance | ? {$_.isAvailable -eq $false}

foreach ($Agent in $Agents)
{
$dataObject=$ScriptContext.CreateFromObject($Agent,"Id=Id,Health State=HealthState,DisplayName=DisplayName",$null)

$Watcher=Get-SCOMClass -Name "Microsoft.SystemCenter.AgentWatcher" | Get-SCOMClassInstance | ? {$_.'[System.Entity].DisplayName'.Value -eq $Agent.'[System.Entity].DisplayName'.Value} 

$dataObject["Watcher State"]=$ScriptContext.CreateWellKnownType("xsd://Microsoft.SystemCenter.Visualization.Library!Microsoft.SystemCenter.Visualization.OperationalDataTypes/MonitoringObjectHealthStateType",$watcher.healthstate.value__)

$dataObject["Watcher State isAvailable"]=$watcher.isAvailable

$ScriptContext.ReturnCollection.Add($dataObject)
}

It doesn't work Gautam.

I can run the script through PS console but could not get the output when I use the same script in SCOM Dashboard view.

Yes, i tried this script but it doesn't work either.

When i create a Dashboard view using this script the console closes every time.

it seems that the problem is in your environment, can you run any other simple script here?

Hi Blake,

Unfortunately none of the above references could actually help to achieve my requirement :(

Hi

Not sure if this is still useful but for anyone else coming across this thread, this should help:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/wei_out_there_with_system_center/archive/2015/04/15/opsmgr-using-psgw-to-display-unhealthy-agents-of-instances-of-a-specific-class.aspx

Wei has also been a great help in assisting with dashboards when you want to get a property defined on a parent class included in the dashboard. E.g. if you want to base a dashboard on the agent class, be aware that many properties are inherited from the parent health service class. You can see these if you do a:

Get-SCOMClass -Name "Microsoft.SystemCenter.Agent" | get-scommonitoringobject | Select *

They are the properties that come up in []

E.g. to build a dashboard for version and patch list you can use the following (I appreciate you can use the Operations Manager agent view as well - this is really just as an example).

Get-SCOMClass -Name "Microsoft.SystemCenter.Agent" | get-scommonitoringobject | %{

$dataObject = $ScriptContext.CreateInstance("xsd://demolab.co.uk/MySchema");

$dataObject["Id"]=$_.Id.ToString();

$dataObject["Server Name"]=$_.DisplayName;

$dataObject["Version"]=$_."[Microsoft.SystemCenter.HealthService].Version".value;

$dataObject["Patch List"]=$_."[Microsoft.SystemCenter.HealthService].PatchList".value;

$ScriptContext.ReturnCollection.Add($dataObject)
}
