get script name and line number

Question

Hi,

I have a lot of custom PowerShell scripts running and I am wondering, if its possible somehow to get

• the name of the PS Script
• the line of the execution of a code

Why? I would like to send out an email if error occurs and send directly the action, maybe path in Adaxes and line number of the script.

Hello,

You can use try-catch blocks with the corresponding code to make the delivery. As for the script name, it has to be specified in the script itself.

As an alternative, you can schedule the Errors in Adaxes log report. By default, the report is located in container Reports\All Reports\Miscellaneous\Logging. However, in this case you will only get the information contained in the log and won’t have the ability to influence it.

So I can not get the name of the action/rule/etc itself and also not this name?

And what is about the line number of the code, where the try/catch happens?

I know about this, but it does not really fit my needs yet. I had a similar question in past also (not sure if I ever followed it up^^)

Yes, that is correct. Unfortunately, there is no such possibility within the script itself.

And what is about the line number of the code, where the try/catch happens?

Unfortunately, there is no possibility to get it. However, in case of errors/warnings, usually, there is the line number included into the message.
