windows:powershell:insertinstance

This is an old revision of the document!


Here is a PowerShell script to discover SQL Server instances installed on the server hosts in the Host table. The domain account that this job runs under needs to in the local administrator's group on the host whose metrics it is trying to get.

This information should be fairly static. Depending on your situation, scheduling this to run weekly, monthly, or quarterly, or whatever. You can always manually kick off this job if needed.

Remember to change “sql1” to your host instance name

updateInstance.ps1
$InstanceList = Invoke-Sqlcmd -Query "exec Windows.Instance_Select_InstanceID_InstanceName" -ServerInstance "sql1" -Database "SysMetrics"
$InstanceList | ForEach-Object {
 
    $InstanceName = $_.InstanceName
    $InstanceID = $_.InstanceID
 
        Try {
           $result = Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance $InstanceName -Query "SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('Edition')"
           $InstanceEdition = $result.column1
           $result = Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance $InstanceName -Query "SELECT
SERVERPROPERTY('EditionID')"
           $InstanceEditionID = $result.column1
           $result = Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance $InstanceName -Query "SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ProductVersion')"
           $InstanceVersion = $result.column1
           $result = Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance $InstanceName -Query "SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ProductLevel')"
           $InstanceServicePack = $result.column1
 
           $sql = "EXEC Windows.Instance_Update $InstanceID,
'$InstanceEdition', '$InstanceEditionID', '$InstanceVersion', '$InstanceServicePack'"
           Invoke-Sqlcmd -Query $sql -ServerInstance "sql1" -Database "SysMetrics"
        }
    Catch { Return }
}
