Hello, i'm currently trying to build a dashboard in SCOM with the PowerShell grid widget through a PowerShell script. And I am trying to monitor my network devices (routers) performance stats, like CPU usage, RAM usage, Outgoing and Incoming Bytes without using the Performance Widget (I don't want a graph). And i can't seem to find a way to get the performance stats of my network devices. Does anyone have any knowledge on how to achieve this?

Regards,
Joao

    You'd use SNMP of course.

    There's a SNMP PowerShell module:
    1.0.0.1

    Or use a COM object:
    powershell-snmp-communication-example

    A quick web search would turn up many more.
