Description
some further suggestions from @Tonic8:
- if a field in an object is a DateType, you can convert it in something InfluxDB will understand:
(dir | select -first1).lastWriteTime | gm
(dir | select -first1).lastWriteTime | get-date -f "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff"
(dir | select -first1).lastWriteTime | convertTo-UnixTimeNanoseconds
where fff is millisecond, (talked here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28589520/how-to-store-dates-in-influxdb) and here https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.5/query_language/data_exploration/#time-syntax
- if a field in an object is something not a "string" but a internal field, like this in Citrix sdk (extract of get-brokerSession | GM):
ConnectionViaIP NoteProperty string ConnectedViaIP=1.2.3.4
ConnectionMode NoteProperty Citrix.Broker.Admin.SDK.ConnectionMode ConnectionMode=Brokered
- if you pass it, the conversion is going wrong(missing doublequote), user must prepare the field, to convert it as string, before passing it to convertTo-Metric
- example with a Boolean field (it should have double-quote),
$test = New-Object PSObject -Property @{testBoolean=$True} - below the result from the Write-Influx commande in Verbose
Xendesktop,computer1 testBoolean=true 12345678898
