Zabbix Discovery rule Powershell command not working

[CristianR]

Hello Zabbix Community,

I am trying to create a LLD Discovery rule in Zabbix that extract the folder name and the parent folder name. It works perfectly if I run the PowerShell command in Powershell but when I test it on Zabbix I get

Invalid second parameter.

error.
Here's the code:

system.run[powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy bypass -c "Get-ChildItem -Path c:\apps -Directory -filter tomcat-* | Get-ChildItem -Directory | select name, @{Name = 'ParentFolder'; Expression = {$_.Parent.Name}}|ConvertTo-Json"]

Any Idea how to overcome this problem?

Thank you.

I think that the problem is with quotes in the expression. system.run takes part of your expression as its second parameter....

try something like

system.run["powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy bypass -c 'Get-ChildItem -Path c:\apps -Directory -filter tomcat-* | Get-ChildItem -Directory | select name, @{Name = 'ParentFolder'; Expression = {$_.Parent.Name}}|ConvertTo-Json' "]

or

system.run["powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy bypass -c \"Get-ChildItem -Path c:\apps -Directory -filter tomcat-* | Get-ChildItem -Directory | select name, @{Name = 'ParentFolder'; Expression = {$_.Parent.Name}}|ConvertTo-Json\" "]

Hamardaban , thank you so much for your quick reply. I tested and the second one works perfectly.

system.run["powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy bypass -c \"Get-ChildItem -Path c:\apps -Directory -filter tomcat-* | Get-ChildItem -Directory | select name, @{Name = 'ParentFolder'; Expression = {$_.Parent.Name}}|ConvertTo-Json\" "]
