Dattocon!

Hi all,

I’ll be presenting at Dattocon next week, so I will not be able to release the new blogs about monitoring with PowerShell. If you’re coming to Dattocon feel free to join my session. you can find information about the session here. The description is a little bit off as I will be talking mostly about PowerShell and automation at MSPs.

I’ll upload all resources to this blog after, including some documentation, examples to use during scripting, and the slide deck & recording.

The normal blogging schedule will resume directly after the PowerShell for MSP’s webinar. To get tickets for that, click here.

Function: Write-DRRMAlert

New-DattoRMMAlert was shared to me by Stan Lee at Datto, Stan also loves the DRY principle of coding and as such I’m also sharing it with you. You can only alert single line items, and not arrays or multiline contents as Datto does not support this.

function write-DRRMAlert ($message) {
    write-host '<-Start Result->'
    write-host "Alert=$message"
    write-host '<-End Result->'
    }

Function: Write-DRMMDiag

Similar to the top one, but generated by myself is the diagnostics printing module. We can feed this anything from objects, to arrays, to single string items 🙂
