If you take you script and pipe it to get member, it will give you a list of various script properties.
(Get-Counter -ListSet LogicalDisk).PathsWithInstances | Get-Counter | get-member
You will see that the object type returned by "Get-Counter" is Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetCounter.PerformanceCounterSampleSet.
TypeName:
Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetCounter.PerformanceCounterSampleSet
Name MemberType Definition
Equals Method bool Equals(System.Object obj)
GetHashCode Method int GetHashCode()
GetType Method type GetType()
ToString Method string ToString()
CounterSamples Property Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetCounter.Perfo...
Timestamp Property datetime Timestamp {get;set;}
Readings ScriptProperty System.Object Readings {get=$strPaths = ""...
You can try grabbing different properties, and they will print out differently, displaying the data on the same line in some cases. For example, pipe your output to a "foreach-object" block, and then for each object print out the CounterSamples property.
(Get-Counter -ListSet LogicalDisk).PathsWithInstances | Get-Counter | foreach-object { ($_).CounterSamples }
This should all print on one line now. However, you also asked if there was a way to not have the server print out on every line. The way to control the format of these outputs is to use the "format-table" cmdlet. So you would pipe your output to format-table
and then give it various options. This is how you would pipe it (without any options).
(Get-Counter -ListSet LogicalDisk).PathsWithInstances |
Get-Counter | object { ($_).CounterSamples | format-table }#OR USE YOUR ORIGINAL CODE(Get-Counter -ListSet LogicalDisk).PathsWithInstances |
Get-Counter | format-table }
Now, it's up to you to give format-table the options you want. With no options, output will look unchanged. To see what options are available to you, use get-help.
get-help format-table
I hope this helps!
Thank for all the info...
