The PowerShell Grid Widget displays the results of a Windows PowerShell script in a grid. The script is run when the dashboard is opened and each time the component is refreshed.
Here are few example which will help to create a custom dashboard.
1. Populating Dashboard from a CSV file
$File = "C:\Temp\SCOMMPList.csv"
$computers = @()
import-csv $File | ForEach-Object{$computers += $_.Name}
$Computers
$i = 1
foreach ($computer in $computers)
{
$Datas = import-csv $File
Foreach ($Data in $Datas)
{
If ($Data.Name -like $computer)
{
$dataObject = $ScriptContext.CreateInstance("xsd://foo!bar/baz")
$dataObject["Id"] = $computer.ToString()
$dataObject["CustomColumn"]=$i
$dataObject["Name"] = $computer
$dataObject["Version"] = $Data.Version
$dataObject["DisplayName"] = $Data.DisplayName
$dataObject["Sealed"] = $Data.Sealed
$ScriptContext.ReturnCollection.Add($dataObject)
$i++
}
}
}
2. Populating Dashboard from a text file
$File = "C:\Test.log"
$inputobject =Get-Content $File | ForEach{ "{0,5} {1}" -f $_.ReadCount,$_ }
foreach ($line in $inputobject)
{
$dataObject = $ScriptContext.CreateInstance("xsd://foo!bar/baz")
$dataObject["Id"] = $line.ToString()
$dataobject["Log"]= $line
$ScriptContext.ReturnCollection.Add($dataObject)
}
3. SCOM Agent Server Health state
$class = Get-SCOMClass -Name Microsoft.Windows.Computer
$Computers = @()
Get-SCOMClassInstance -Class $class | ForEach-Object{$computers += $_.DisplayName}
$i=1
foreach ($computer in $computers)
{
$Datas = Get-SCOMClassInstance -Class $class
Foreach ($Data in $Datas)
{
If ($Data.DisplayName -like $computer)
{
$dataObject=$ScriptContext.CreateInstance("xsd://foo!bar/baz")
$dataObject["Id"] = $computer.ToString()
$dataObject["CustomColumn"]=$i
$dataObject["Name"] = $computer
$dataObject["Path"] = $Data.FullName
$dataObject["IsAvailable"] = $Data.IsAvailable
$dataObject["DisplayName"] = $Data.DisplayName
$dataObject["InMaintenanceMode"] = $Data.InMaintenanceMode
$ScriptContext.ReturnCollection.Add($dataObject)
$i++
}
}
}
