I've a problem with result of a *.cfg file, containing $prescript parameter, running by check_logfiles.exe.
My platform is MS Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit.
I have to check in a dir, if there are *.err files. For do this job, i've write this powershell script:
$mypath="W:\nrpe\tmp\"
$logfile = $args
$logfile = Foreach-Object {$logfile -replace '\\', '_' -replace "__", "" -replace ":", ""}
$result = ls $args -Filter *.err|Measure-Object -Line | select -expand lines
echo "$result file/s present with .*err string"| out-file -filepath $mypath$logfile'.log' -append -encoding unicode
exit 0
I've chose to elaborate $logfile parameter, because i have to check more paths, and i want to use the same script.
This is the cfg file:
$scriptpath = 'C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0';
$seekfilesdir = 'C:\nrpe\tmp';
$prescript = 'powershell.exe';
$prescriptparams = '-File C:\nrpe\libexec\check_err_file.ps1 \\\networkpath\FTP_Data\ExtraUE\Input';
$options = 'supersmartprescript';
$log='W:\nrpe\tmp\networkpath_FTP_Data_ExtraUE_Input';
#searches = (
{
tag => 'check_logfiles_test',
type => 'simple',
logfile => $log,
criticalpatterns => ['.*'],
criticalexceptions => ['0 file'],
options => 'count,noprotocol,noperfdata',
}
);
The $log file it's empity if i run checklogfiles:
C:\nrpe\libexec\check_logfiles -f C:\nrpe\cfg\check_logfiles_test.cfg
But if i Run powershell manually, it works correctly:
PS C:> C:\nrpe\libexec\check_err_file.ps1
\networkpath\FTP_Data\ExtraUE\Input
Content of W:\nrpe\tmp\networkpath_FTP_Data_ExtraUE_Input:
1 file/s present with .*err string
this is trace log:

i am completely new to Powershell and I am trying to create a script to extract the timestamp for the string found in a log file. There are log files everyday and it should select the latest file. It then looks for a string in that file. Now, where it finds the string it should also return a timestamp where the string is located. I am only able to complete the first part and struggling with the 2nd bit. My script is in no way optimal but it is a start. Any help is appreciated.
Set-Location -Path "O:\xyz\0502251\logs"
$latest = (Get-ChildItem -Path $dir -Filter 'async_SPARKLE_ONITE_*.log' | Sort-Object CreationDate -Descending | Select-Object -last 1).fullname
$pattern = "Successfulyl finished running psp_dba_maint_4"
$search = (Get-Content $latest | Select-String -Pattern "psp_dba_maint_4" | Select-Object -last 1)
if($search)
{
"The overnight completed at:"
}
else
{
"Do something"
}
This looks for the latest file and extracts the string. Now Just want to know at what time this log was generated.
The log is:

This has different values in files generated everyday. So it should look for the latest file and return the result as The overnight completed at: 23:56.
Here is a variant using the switch statement to efficiently process the file line-by-line and test each line to match given RegEx patterns:
$found = switch -File $latest -RegEx {
'\d\d:\d\d' { $timestamp = $matches[0] }
'Successfulyl finished running psp_dba_maint_4' { $true; break }
}
if( $found ) {
"The overnight completed at: $timestamp"
}
else {
"Not found"
}
$found = switch ... assigns the output of the switch statement to the variable. The output will be $true if the pattern has been found.
\d\d:\d\d searches for the time (first occurence of a pair of two digits separated by :) within the current line. The automatic variable $matches[0] then gives the matched value, similar to the RegEx -match operator. For a detailed explanation of the RegEx pattern and the ability to experiment with it, see this Regex101.com page.
Although there is no $false output of the switch statement, an empty output evaluates to $false in a boolean context (in this case the if statement), so if the pattern isn't found, the else branch will be entered.
There is a typo in Successfulyl which I just copied from your example ;)
To complement zett42's helpful switch-based answer:
A Select-String solution, as you attempted, is possible, via the -Context parameter, which allows you to capture the lines surrounding a matching line as well:
$time =
Select-String -LiteralPath $latest -Pattern 'psp_dba_maint_4' -Context 3 |
Select-Object -Last 1 |
ForEach-Object {
# Extract and output the 'HH:mm' part of the timestamp from
# the 3rd line above the match (the first element in the pre-context array)
$_.Context.PreContext[0] -replace '^.+ (..:..).+$', '$1'
}
if ($time) {
"The overnight completed at: $time"
} else {
'Do something'
}
Note:
It is much more efficient to pass the file path of the target file to Select-String, via -LiteralPath, than it is to pass the file's content, line by line, via Get-Content.
If you had assigned the whole file-info object (System.IO.FileInfo), as emitted by Get-ChildItem, to $latest, you could alternatively have provided it via the pipeline: $latest | Select-String ...
The type of the match-information objects that Select-String emits is Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.MatchInfo.
The regex-based -replace operator is used to extract (part of) the time-of-day string from the context line.
For an explanation of the above regex (and substitution, where $1 refers to the first and only capture group, (...)), see this regex101.com page.
As you need to get the Time information only related to the procedure psp_dba_maint_4 you can do:
#Remove empty lines, join strings and split string at "connection 1" = you keep the related information together. Next parse the array of strings for the string which matches "psp_dba_maint_4" and after that extract dateTime
$null = (((Get-Content $latest | ?{$_}) -join $null) -split "connection 1" | ?{$_ -match "psp_dba_maint_4"}) -match '\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}'
$Search = $matches[0]
if($search){
"The overnight completed at: $search"
}
else{
"Do something"
}
Alternatively you could parse the log an create objects, e.g.:
$obj = #(
Get-Content $latest | ?{$_} | %{
#If string is connection 1 initialize hashtable/create object
If ($_ -match 'connection 1'){
If ($attrsHT){
new-object -typename psobject -Property $attrsht
}
$attrsHt = #{}
}
Else {
#replace Procedure with Procedure, replace ": " with | and split at |
$split = (($_ -replace "Procedure","Procedure:") -replace ": ","|") -split "\|"
#add key and value to hashtable
$attrsht.add($split[0],$split[1])
}
}
)
gives you the array $obj containing the loginformation:
$obj[0] | fl *
Procedure : 'psp_dba_locklogin'
Message String : -----> login SPRK_SVC_IRISS logged in at 23:55:45 running SRI.exe:AWAITING COMMAND on
rptSPARKLE from host da-pvrep02 is still active
Server message : 2022-10-15 23:56:07:020
Message number : 0, Severity 10, State 1, Line 126
Here's another solution to add to the rest.
if ($found = Get-Content -Path $latest -ReadCount 7 | %{
if ($_ -match 'Setting PrivShield on SPRKSZCBS OUT OF maintenance mode')
{
[regex]::Match($_,'\d\d:\d\d').Value
}
}
) { "The overnight completed at: $found" }
else { 'not found' }
On another note, $latest contains the oldest file and not the newest. Specifying -Descending in your Sort-Object brings the most current files to the top. So, when you select the last one via -Last 1, that is the oldest file and not the newest.
I am trying to create a script for my class to automatically create a folder monthDay wise and open it in Visual Studio Code. However, after the script executes the powershell console remains open until I close it manually or I close VSCode. I just want the console to go away after it executes. Here is the script: Please tell me how to do it..
# Hash table for months
$hash_month = #{1="jan";2="feb";3="mar";4="apr";5="may";6="june";7="july";8="aug";9="sep";10="oct";11="nov";12="dec"}
#extracting date
$date = (Get-Date).Day
#extracing month
$month = (Get-Date).Month
# getting month name from the hash table
$month_name= $hash_month[$month]
# Creating the Directory with monthDate
# This command will create a dir if it does not exist, or it will simply not execute if the directory exists
[System.IO.Directory]::CreateDirectory("$month_name$date")
# changing dir
cd $month_name$date
# opening the dir in vscode
code .
# currently not able to exit from console after execution of script
exit 0
I have attached the screenshot of the window, I just want the console to go away but NOT vscode.
Powershell and VSCode Screenshot
I made 2 changes here:
The path creation is handled differently, which has nothing to do with the question, but your way was not creating the path for me.
Used Start-Process with hidden window to instantiate VSCode and make the $pid kill method work.
Full script:
# Hash table for months
$hash_month = #{1 = "jan"; 2 = "feb"; 3 = "mar"; 4 = "apr"; 5 = "may"; 6 = "june"; 7 = "july"; 8 = "aug"; 9 = "sep"; 10 = "oct"; 11 = "nov"; 12 = "dec" }
#extracting date
$date = (Get-Date).Day
#extracing month
$month = (Get-Date).Month
# getting month name from the hash table
$month_name = $hash_month[$month]
# Creating the Directory with monthDate
# This command will create a dir if it does not exist, or it will simply not execute if the directory exists
$path = $month_name + $date
if (!(Test-Path $path)) {
New-Item $path -ItemType Directory
}
# # changing dir
cd $path
# # opening the dir in vscode with Start-Process
Start-Process -FilePath "code" -ArgumentList "." -WindowStyle Hidden
# # currently not able to exit from console after execution of script
Stop-Process $pid
In our project, we are getting AppDynamics logs(application logs) and machine logs and sometime the the size of the logs increase which eats out the disk size. What I am trying to do it is to get the content between two dates like 10 Nov and 13 Nov and delete the rest. Since we are working in windows environment, this needs to be done in powershell. It is easier to handle such things in linux but I am not good at powershell scripting. Below is the code snippet.

How to quickly and efficiently extract text from a large logfile from line x to line y using powershell 5?
How to quickly and efficiently extract text from a large logfile from date1 to date2 using powershell 5?
In Groovy I can run the Windows cmd shell directly and read the result like this:
def proc = "cmd /c dir".execute()
proc.wait()
println "stdout: ${proc.in.text}"
However, if I try this with PowerShell it blocks and won't return:
def proc = "powershell dir".execute()
I have tried
def proc = "powershell -NonInteractive dir".execute()
etc. - but they all block and I have to kill the Groovy script.
What's the equivalent of the /c switch for cmd that you use with PowerShell to get the result to return to the script.
Use the -command parameter:
powershell -command "dir"
You can use the List form:
['powershell', '-command', 'dir'].execute()
I used a Groovy class to execute a PowerShell script. This is a little more elaborate than just executing a command, but I thought it might be helpful.
import groovy.util.logging.Log4j
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component
#Component
#Log4j
class PowerShellUtil {
def exec(debug, command, args){
def powerShellCommand = ".\\${command} ${args}"
def shellCommand = "powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoLogo -NonInteractive -NoProfile -Command \"${powerShellCommand}\""
if (debug) log.debug powerShellCommand
def process = shellCommand.execute()
def out = new StringBuffer()
def err = new StringBuffer()
process.consumeProcessOutput(out, err)
process.waitFor()
if(out.size() > 0 && debug) log.debug out
if(err.size() > 0) log.error err
}
}
Then I can execute the script with:
PowerShellUtil psUtil = new PowerShellUtil()
psUtil.exec(true, 'script.ps1','script-args')
Use this:
powershell -command dir
For a simple command like list directory:
powershell -command ls
For making a PowerShell script run in cmd you should use an encoded command like:
$script = {Get-EventLog -LogName System -Newest 10 | where { $_.Index -ge 5071811 } | sort Index}
then:
[System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes( $script))

Any suggestions on how I can quickly print the current month of a calendar in plain text to the clipboard or to the command in the a windows environment? To be clear here, I would like to see the full printed month, similar to what you see when you single click on the clock in the windows taskbar. I'm thinking along the lines of a a lightweight PowerShell script or perhaps there is some other pre-packaged Windows application functionality that would allow me to do this easily.
Give this a try:
function Get-Calendar($year=(Get-Date).Year,$month=(Get-Date).Month){
$dtfi = New-Object System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo
$AbbreviatedDayNames=$dtfi.AbbreviatedDayNames | ForEach-Object {" {0}" -f $_.Substring(0,2)}
$header= "$($dtfi.MonthNames[$month-1]) $year"
$header=(" "*([math]::abs(21-$header.length) / 2))+$header
$header+=(" "*(21-$header.length))
Write-Host $header -BackgroundColor yellow -ForegroundColor black
Write-Host (-join $AbbreviatedDayNames) -BackgroundColor cyan -ForegroundColor black
$daysInMonth=[DateTime]::DaysInMonth($year,$month)
$dayOfWeek =(New-Object DateTime $year,$month,1).dayOfWeek.value__
$today=(Get-Date).Day
for ($i = 0; $i -lt $dayOfWeek; $i++){Write-Host (" "*3) -NoNewline}
for ($i = 1; $i -le $daysInMonth; $i++)
{
if($today -eq $i){Write-Host ("{0,3}" -f $i) -NoNewline -BackgroundColor red -ForegroundColor white}
else {Write-Host ("{0,3}" -f $i) -NoNewline -BackgroundColor white -ForegroundColor black}
if ($dayOfWeek -eq 6) {Write-Host}
$dayOfWeek = ($dayOfWeek + 1) % 7
}
if ($dayOfWeek -ne 0) {Write-Host}
}

A calendar (a system for breaking a linear date into day/month/year) doesn't have a current anything.
But if you mean get the month of a DateTime in a given calendar you need to look at specifying a CultureInfo which in .NET incorporates a selected calendar:
$d = Get-Date
$d.ToString('MMMM', [System.Globalization.CultureInfo]::CurrentCulture)
There are a number of ways to create a custom CultureInfo or (more generally) an instance of DateTimeFormatInfo and passing as the second parameter of DateTime.ToString().
The simplest approach is to get an instance of CultureInfo that uses the target calender, eg.:
$ci = [System.Globalization.CultureInfo]::CreatedSpecifiedCulture('jp-jp')
MSDN has a whole page on working with calendars: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/82aak18x%28v=vs.100%29.aspx (this is the .NET 4 version for PowerShell 3).
