PowerShell — report any severity powershell

Download status.ps1

Single PowerShell script that takes the severity as a parameter, so you can call it from a wrapper that decides ok/warn/crit based on your own logic. Usage: .\status.ps1 -Severity ok .\status.ps1 -Severity warn -Summary 'Disk 92% full' .\status.ps1 -Severity crit -Summary 'Backup script failed'

Placeholders only. Before running, replace YOUR_URL with your capture endpoint's POST URL . (Open this page from your capture object to have these auto-filled.)

# status.ps1 — POST a self-reported severity to site1.erralert.com.
#
# Usage:
#   .\status.ps1 -Severity ok
#   .\status.ps1 -Severity warn -Summary "disk getting full"
#   .\status.ps1 -Severity crit -Summary "service down"
#   .\status.ps1 -Severity error -Summary "couldn't even probe"

param(
  [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
  [ValidateSet('ok','warn','crit','error')]
  [string]$Severity,
  [string]$Summary = ''
)

$Url  = "YOUR_URL/$Severity"
$Body = @{ hostname = $env:COMPUTERNAME }
if ($Summary) { $Body['summary'] = $Summary }
$Json = $Body | ConvertTo-Json -Compress

try {
  Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $Url -Method Post -Body $Json `
    -ContentType "application/json" -TimeoutSec 15 | Out-Null
  exit 0
} catch {
  Write-Error $_
  exit 1
}

Recommended pairing

Add a capture.severity check to this capture object.
capture.severity with max_age_seconds set to roughly twice your normal cadence so a missed run shows as error.

What is the filename?

status.ps1 — this is the suggested name for the downloaded file. Rename freely if you prefer.
