Is there a native way to run scripts in pwsh.exe managed environment? It's not mentioned in docs so I believe not: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.3.1/Admin/Inputsconf   We all know there is [powershell://<name>] in inputs.conf to run "classic" powershell scripts. Actually, it runs script in "classic" PowerShell environment. Depending on which Windows version/build Universal Forwarder is installed on, it will be PS version up to 5.1 (which is managed by powershell.exe binary btw). But now we have a brand-new PowerShell Core (managed by a different binary: pwsh.exe). PowerShell Core have new features, not available in "classic" PowerShell and they're not 100% compatible. Additionally, PowerShell Core is platform agnostic - so we can install it on Linux and run PowerShell Core based scripts there (don't ask me why anyone would do that, but it's possible). Currently I'm running PowerShell Core scripts, by starting batch script in cmd environment, then cmd starts pwsh.exe with defined parameter to run my PowerShell Core based script - not elegant at all. ...

I know vCenter have API get information about local file system on the guest vm running on ESXi host (as long as VMWare Tools are installed on vm): capacity (in bytes) freeSpace (in bytes) diskPath (eg. C:\ for Win or / for *nix) fileSystemType (eg. ext3, NTFS, etc...)

This is fine, but equally important metric is local disk utilization of the guest vm. Which metric is responsible for getting this info in VMWare or VMWare Metrics AddOns? https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/released/VMW/Sourcetypes https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/released/VMWmetrics/Sourcetypes If none of the listed. Is there a way to customize VMW or VMWmetrics AddOns to grab this crucial information about VMs from vCenter? Perhaps I should look elsewhere - I mean different App/AddOn? ... View more
