Create Alert from powershell

panzerifabio

Hi Guys,

I would like to know if it is possible to create an alert from a powershell script.
I tried to use api but I received a warning like : "Unable to build a secure connection.."

Thank you for your support.

Hi @panzerifabio ,

with PowerShell you can write an Eventlog and based on the Eventlog you can raise an alert :)

Windows event log alert, or alert in Atera ?

If you want to use the API to create an Alert in Atera, here is a starter for you.

Thank you.

@mjones I used this script for test but I received error code 400 bad request.

What's wrong?

Thank you

Be careful when using the API from a client pc via PowerShell as it contains the api key in clear text.
Someone could access all your data by capturing the api key including the option to edit/ remove your data.

You have to add your API key to the script for it to work.
If you arent familiar with Powershell or API access, I would not recommend this route.

Make sure not to post your API key here, as it gives full access to your system.
