SQL Health Monitor has integrated Microsoft PowerShell to facilitate PS Script Execution. This is for those users who require the Database Processes to be automated within a DevOps Environment – without the need for a dedicated hands-on Database Administrator.

PowerShell is very Unixlike so if you have exposure to either $Bash or PERL Scripting, PowerShell can be a useful tool to leverage existing SQL Skills.

The first requirement is to Register PowerShell within SQL Health Monitor

Second, generate a PS1 (PowrShell) Script – or use one of the pre-built Templates specially targeting SQL Server.

Thirdly, add the required Parameters to the script and click on the Execute Button.

This will bring up the PowerShell window so you can view the process.

PowerShell integration allows the control of PS1 Scripts and Tasks within SQL Health Monitor to facilitate quick results in Server and Database Performance.

It is a valuable tool in controlling your PowerShell scripts and leveraging existing SQL Skills.
