Deployment Architecture

Why does Splunk only run my PowerShell script once after reloading the deployment server?

I'm a new Splunk user.

I created a new Powershell script and i don't know why Splunk runs it only once after reloading the Deployment Server

My input file:

[powershell://dq]
script = . "$SplunkHome\etc\apps\wins_inputs\local\dq.ps1"
source = dq
sourcetype = Powershell:dq
interval = 10
index = powershell

Powershell script:
dq.ps1

$computer         = $ENV:Computername
$instance         = "_total"

@("\\$Computer\PhysicalDisk(*)\Current Disk Queue Length",
  "\\$Computer\PhysicalDisk(*)\Avg. Disk Queue Length",
  "\\$Computer\PhysicalDisk(*)\Avg. Disk Read Queue Length",
  "\\$Computer\PhysicalDisk(*)\Avg. Disk Write Queue Length") |% {
    (Get-Counter $_.replace("*",$instance)).CounterSamples } |
    Select-Object Path,CookedValue

Do you have any ideas why?

Hi 

I have tried using both interval and schedule but the script only runs on splunk restart or after reloading the deployment server. Any suggestions ?
