I have a script that I am running for the backup team and it runs well but I need to streamline it to not return results of a certain query.
$report = @()
$report += Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Filter @{'Runtime.PowerState'='poweredOn'} |
Select -First 20 Name, @{N='Datacenter';E={ $parent = Get-View -Id $_.Parent -Property Name,Parent while($parent -isnot [VMware.Vim.Datacenter] -and $parent){ $parent = Get-View -Id $parent.Parent -Property Name,Parent } if($parent){ $parent.Name }}}, @{N="NetworkerPolicy";E={ $caEntry = $_.AvailableField | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq 'Last EMC vProxy Backup'} $script:policy = ($_.CustomValue | where{$_.Key -eq $caEntry.Key}).Value $script:policy }}, @{N="Daily Status";E={ if(($script:policy -eq 'Replicated System') -or ($script:policy -eq 'DEV-QA System') -or ($script:policy -eq 'Client Backup') -or ($script:policy -eq 'Restore/Rebuilt System') -or ($script:policy -eq 'Decommed') -or ($script:policy -eq 'Replication Machines') -or ($script:policy -eq 'NetWorker Proxy (Do Not Backup)') -or ($script:policy -eq 'Restored Machine') -or ($script:policy -eq 'Desktop System')){ Write-Output "-" } elseif ($script:policy -like "*StartTime=$DayBefore*"){ Write-Output "Success" } elseif ($script:policy -like "*StartTime=$ChkDATE*"){ Write-Output "Success" } else { Write-Output "Failure" } }}
$report | Select -Property $Properties | Sort Name | Export-Csv $FileCSV -NoTypeInformation
I have tried Select, Select-String, Where, Where-Object, etc.... in numerous places. Ideally I would like to filter the @networkerpolicy section to basically have the entire $results exclude Systems that are returned as part of the @networkerpolicy that return results -eq 'Replicated System', 'DEV-QA System', 'Client Backup', 'Restore/Rebuilt System','Decommed','Replication Machines',''NetWorker Proxy (Do Not Backup)','Restored Machine', and 'Desktop System'. At that point I would be able to modify the @Daily Status to only have the -like sections or the else section.
