SCOM 2007 R2 Rule or Monitor - Powershell script to check if a file exists

Question

Hi, Does anyone know of a Powershell script I can use in a SCOM Rule/Monitor to check if 2 files exist, with a part filename and wildcard? Kind Regards

Hi,

It seems we can use the following PS script to achieve our goal.

$api = New-Object -comObject "MOM.ScriptAPI"    
$PropertyBag = $api.CreatePropertyBag()  
  
$file_count = (get-item c:\temp\result*.csv).count  
  
$PropertyBag.AddValue("FileCount",$file_count)  
$PropertyBag  

create a unit monitor based on powershell script

name the monitor, add target and enter the powershell script

after that, add the criteria

The criteria we can use:
Property[@DeezNutz ="FileCount"]

Hope the above information helps.
