Configuration

Connections

Virtual Connection - Main

This connector uses a virtual connection and does not require any input during element creation.

Initialization

When you have created an element with this connector, configure the following parameters on the Configurations page:

• PowerShell User Name and PowerShell Password: The username and password of an account with permissions to execute the commands.
• DHCP Server: The target DHCP hostname to be used in the commands.

If this is not or not correctly configured, the element will not be able to display any data.

Redundancy

There is no redundancy defined.

How to use

This connector connects to the host's PowerShell and executes predefined PowerShell commands to display data.

On the Configurations page, several parameters need to be configured for the connector to be able to fetch data (see "Initialization" section above). This same page also contains a Commands Configuration Table where you can configure the Refresh Period (time interval between each command call of the same type) and you can force the execution of a call by clicking the Update button.

The currently implemented commands are:

• Get-DhcpServerv4Scope -ComputerName <DHCP Server>

  Default period: 1 hour. This command is used to fill in the Scopes Table

• Get-DhcpServerv4Lease -ComputerName <DHCP Server> -ScopeId <Scope ID>

  Default period: 1 hour. This command is used to fill in the Leases Table.

All the information about Scopes and Leases is displayed on the General page.
