Managing ServiceControl Audit instances via PowerShell

For general information about ServiceControl PowerShell, including troubleshooting and licensing guidance, see Managing ServiceControl via PowerShell.

ServiceControl Audit instance Cmdlets and Aliases

The following cmdlets and aliases are provided by the ServiceControl Management PowerShell module for managing Audit instances.

AliasCmdlet
audit-addNew-ServiceControlAuditInstance
audit-deleteRemove-ServiceControlAuditInstance
audit-instancesGet-ServiceControlAuditInstances
audit-upgradeInvoke-ServiceControlAuditInstanceUpgrade
sc-helpGet-ServiceControlMgmtCommands
sc-transportsinfoGet-ServiceControlTransportTypes

Help

All of the cmdlets have local help which can be accessed via the standard PowerShell help command.

Get-Help Get-ServiceControlAuditInstances

Adding an instance

$errorInstanceName = "Test.ServiceControl"

$auditInstance New-ServiceControlAuditInstance `
  -Name Test.ServiceControl.Audit `
  -InstallPath C:\ServiceControl.Audit\Bin `
  -DBPath C:\ServiceControl.Audit\DB `
  -LogPath C:\ServiceControl.Audit\Logs `
  -Port 44444 `
  -DatabaseMaintenancePort 44445 `
  -Transport MSMQ `
  -AuditQueue audit1 `
  -AuditRetentionPeriod 10:00:00:00 `
  -ForwardAuditMessages:$false `
  -ServiceControlQueueAddress $errorInstanceName

There are additional parameters available to set configuration options such as hostname and transport connection string.

The address of a ServiceControl instance must be provided to send notifications to.

Once a ServiceControl Audit instance is created, it must be added to the ServiceControl Error instance as a remote to be included in results returned to ServiceInsight.

Add-ServiceControlRemote -Name $errorInstanceName -RemoteInstanceAddress $auditInstance.Url

Removing an instance

Before removing a ServiceControl Audit instance, it should be removed from the ServiceControl Error instances list of remotes.

Remove-ServiceControlRemote -Name "Test.ServiceControl" -RemoteInstanceAddress "http://localhost:44444/api"

Remove the instance that was created in the Add sample and delete the database and logs:

Remove-ServiceControlAuditInstance -Name Test.ServiceControl.Audit -RemoveDB -RemoveLogs

To List existing instances of the ServiceControl Audit service use Get-ServiceControlAuditInstances.

Upgrading an instance

To upgrade an instance to the latest version of the binaries run.

Invoke-ServiceControlAuditInstanceUpgrade -Name <Instance To upgrade>

Use the following command to find a list of all of the ServiceControl Audit instances and their version numbers:

Get-ServiceControlAuditInstances | Select Name, Version

The upgrade will stop the service if it is running. Additional parameters for Invoke-ServiceControlAuditInstanceUpgrade may be required. The configuration file of the existing version is examined prior to determine if all the required settings are present. If a configuration setting is missing then the cmdlet will throw an error indicating the required additional parameter.
