NNMi action using powershell

[nareshkumar1985]

Hi Guys,

I am working on an integration where I want to forward alerts from nnmi using action tab. Where I was trying to execute a powershell command. I checked the action log where it says it executed the powershell successfully but the action was never performed. When I manually executed the script it worked as expected. I am not sure what is missing here.

Powershell script is placed under actions folder. 

Example: mypowershellscript.ps1 $ssn

Could someone please let me know how to call a PowerShell under nnmi action where I can pass the variables.

1. This community was super active when it was part of HP now it is gone. Looks like all NNMi Guru's are gone.

Hello Naresh,

it might be a special problem with your question as no one is using powershell ;-).

I have successful used Windows Batch (.bat) and OV Perl (.ovpl) without a problem (mainly OV Perl as it is delievered by NNMi).

Hi BR Allessandro,
Since we have NNMi installed on a Windows Box I was expecting PowerShell to be the right option to be called for sending alerts to 3rd party applications. Now I am using Bat file to call the PowerShell to forward the alerts, which is working fine for some time, then stops executing NNMi action for incidents. I have restart NNMi application to work again.

The strange part is, logs do not show any issue on the script and I am not sure why it runs for a day and then it stops executing actions against the incident.

Regards,
Naresh

Looks like NNMi does not support Powershell and we have only 2 options either use BAT script or jython script. It is disappointing that thins amazing application does not support powershell on windows environment.

I am closing this thread now. If I find another way to execute will post the solution to this thread.
