Unable to test message - Githubissues

Zxurian commented 9 years ago

I've followed the walkthrough, but trying to test the notification isn't sending out any messages to my slack channel. The .ps1 file is copied, and the PRTG notifications are setup as such, however when hitting the "test" button for the notification, no messages arrive in the appropriate slack channel.

Any ideas?

By default the script will output log to slack.log

Usually the working directory for PRTG processes is C:\Windows\System32 so check if there's a log at C:\Windows\System32\slack.log

Test message doesn't set all parameters, but test message should still work though.

was a permission issue.

Awesome powershell script!

Sorry for reopen, but i have almost the same problem. After allowing unsigned Shellscripts with set-executionpolicy remotesigned and right-click on the .ps1 file under 'properties' klicking 'allow' the script can be executed in Powershell. But i get no message in Slack. The Logfile is created in the same folder the .ps1 is located but i cant get it to send a message to slack when i call it in Powershell with:

PS C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\Notifications\EXE> .\PRTGSlackNotification.ps1 -SlackToken 'mysecretslacktoken' -SlackChannel '#general' -SiteName '%sitename' -Device '%device' -Name '%name' -Status '%status' -Down '%down' -DateTime '%datetime' -LinkDevice '%linkdevice' -Message '%message'

The Errormessage says that it cant find the cmdlet Invoke-RestMethod. If you understand German:

Die Benennung "Invoke-RestMethod" wurde nicht als Name eines Cmdlet, einer Funktion, einer Skriptdatei oder eines ausführbaren Programms erkannt. Überprüfen Sie die Schreibweise des Namens, oder ob der Pfad korrekt ist (sofern enthalten), und wiederholen Sie den Vorgang.

A Logfile i created with:

*%sitename*
<%linkdevice|%device %name>
Status %status %down on %datetime
```%message```

But when i invole the Test in PRTG, no logfile is created. Even testing a Sensor with that notification wont invoke a message or creation of that logfile. There is also no logfile under c:\windows\system32

What am i doint wrong?

Regards

Dirk

i found out that the "Invoke-RestMethod" was introduced to PowerShell 3. Seems i have PowerShell2 after i executed $PSVersionTable.PSVersion i could see:
