Powershell Script to Automate Daily Monitoring in SharePoint 2010

Introduction

From a SharePoint administration perspective monitoring tasks are very important for maintaining a healthy Farm. Monitoring should be done at specific time intervals. You can then differentiate monitoring into the 3 categories daily, weekly and monthly. This article outlines how to automate some of the tasks for daily monitoring.

What the script does

The daily monitoring script automates the following tasks and captures the information into CSV files:

  • SharePoint services status
  • IISWebsite status
  • AppPool status
  • Disk space info
  • Health analyser report
  • CPU utilization
  • Memory utilization
  • SharePoint server status

Manually doing these tasks consumes time and human error can occur. So the PowerShell script would become handy in this scenario.

There is one more function that is included with this script. This is the most interesting part. The script generates output in CSV files for each of the preceding tasks. There is a separate function that converts all the CSV files into an Excel sheet with tabs separated for each of the CSV file. This is done to consolidate all the reports into a single file and provide it to the customer or upper management for better readability.

Note: This functionality of consolidating files into Excel only works if you have an Excel client installed.

Functions
