Get service status email from more than one computer

Question

Morning all,

I am trying to use this script to check service status email from more than one computer.

I have created two text files for computer and service name, would like to receive like computer name, service name, status email.

$computers = Get-Content "C:\Users\xyz\Desktop\Checkservices\Computers.txt"

foreach ($line in $computers)
{

Invoke-Command -ComputerName $line -ScriptBlock{

	$services = Get-Content "C:\Users\xyz\Desktop\Checkservices\services.txt"
	##$serviceName = "Tomcat123"
	foreach ($serviceName in $services)
	{
Invoke-Command -ServiceName $serviceName -ScriptBlock{
 
$service = Get-Service | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq $serviceName }
write-host "Service Status is" $service.status  
 
if ($service.status -eq "Running")
{
write-host "Sending waring email"
    
$smtpServer = "pass smtp server"
$msg = new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage
$smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpServer)
    
$dateString = get-date
    
$msg.From = "pass email id"
$msg.To.Add("pass email id")
$msg.subject = "Service " + $service + " is " + $service.status
$msg.body = ([string]$dateString) + " Service " + $service + " is " + $service.status 
$smtp.send($msg)

    
}

   }
	}
   }
   }

This is how to write this in PowerShell.

$services = Get-Content C:\Users\xyz\Desktop\Checkservices\services.txt
Get-Content C:\Users\xyz\Desktop\Checkservices\Computers.txt |
    ForEach-Object{
        Get-Service -ServiceName $services -ComputerName $_ |
            ForEach-Object{
                write-host 'Service Status is' $_.status  
                if ($_.status -eq 'Running'){
                    write-host 'Sending waring email'
                    $msg = "$(get-date) Service $_ is $($_.status)"
                    $mailprops = @{
                        From = 'pass email id'
                        To = 'to email address'
                        Subject = $msg
                        Body = $msg
                        SmtpServer = 'pass smtp server'
                    }
                    Send-MailMessage @mailprops
                }
            }
    }

Thanks Jrv. Yes, I have copied from Git. New to power shell, would like to learn, not sure where do I start it.

Getting this error: Get-Service : Cannot find any service with service name ''.

Is there a way to get like 'computer name, service name, status by email'

Computer Service Status

Computer1 WinRM Running

Just add the name to the message. Why is that a problem?

Not sure, I am getting the following error. Still receiving an email - 02/13/2020 17:31:44 Service System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController is Running.

Just to add - the script is calling from local server to remote server. Could be permission issue.

======

Thanks Jrv.

I just run it on remote server itself, got the following, but the email is not looking right.

email: 02/13/2020 17:48:01 Service System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController is Running

It should be Service TomCat1 is running, but the the way i need it Service TomCat1 running on computer1.

Service Status is Running
Sending email

Also, this line should not check the status, regardless of the status it should check and return the results.

if ($_.status -eq 'Running'){

As I noted above, we will not redesign or rewrite a script that you have copied from the Internet. I posted code that does what the original script appears to do. If it doesn't do what you want then you will have to learn PowerShell and write the script the way you need it to be.

Learning PowerShell and Windows technology is your responsibility. This forum is not a place to ask for others to teach you and we certainly cannot understand what you want.

If you are not capable of learning the technology then you will have to hire a consultant to write your script.

This is how someone trained in computer engineering and with experience using and automating Windows management tasks would do this:

$services = Get-Content C:\Users\xyz\Desktop\Checkservices\services.txt
$body = Get-Content C:\Users\xyz\Desktop\Checkservices\Computers.txt |
    ForEach-Object{Get-Service -ServiceName $services -ComputerName $_} |
    Where-Object{$_.Status -ne 'Running'} |
    Select-Object MachineName,ServiceName,Status |
    ConvertTo-Html |
    Out-String

$mailprops = @{
    From = 'pass email id'
    To = 'to email address'
    Subject = "$(get-date) Service Status"
    Body = $body
    BodyAsHtml = $true
    SmtpServer = 'pass smtp server'
}
Send-MailMessage @mailprops

Thank you.

Just added error handling, since the service not available in other servers.

I am going to try next test case to check some of service in a group of computer and output that into csv. Like, the service is available, startup, owner of service, status of it etc. Hoping to learn more :-)

try {
$services = Get-Content C:\Users\xyz\Desktop\Checkservices\services.txt
$body = Get-Content C:\Users\xyz\Desktop\Checkservices\Computers.txt |

    ForEach-Object{Get-Service -ServiceName $services -ComputerName $_ -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue} |
    #Where-Object{$_.Status -ne 'Running'} |
    Select-Object MachineName,ServiceName,Status |
    ConvertTo-Html |
    Out-String
    }

catch {
    $_ | Out-File C:\Users\xyz\Desktop\Checkservices\errors.txt -Append


}


$mailprops = @{
    From = 'pass email id'
    To = 'to email address'
    Subject = "$(get-date) Service Status"
    Body = $body
    BodyAsHtml = $true
    SmtpServer = 'pass smtp server'
}
Send-MailMessage @mailprops

That won't work. Use 'Stop' to make error handling work correctly.

Start by reading the help for each new thing you need to use.

I just checked the get-help but i could not find how many columns / property 'Select-Object' or 'Get-Service' has it. It does not give 'MachineName,ServiceName,Status'. How do i get all the columns for a particular object or cmdlet.

Select-Object MachineName,ServiceName,Status
