Get-Sbec Forwarding

Module:
booteventcollector
Gets the current connections and how data is forwarded.

Syntax 

Get-SbecForwarding
   [[-ComputerName] <String[]>]
   [[-CimSession] <CimSession[]>]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Get-SbecForwarding cmdlet get the current connections and how data is forwarded from the Setup and Boot Event Collector. It returns one object for each connection.

Examples

Example 1: Get how data is forwarded 

PS C:\> $x = @(Get-SbecForwarding)

This command gets the forwarding information, and then stores it in the $x variable.

Optional Parameters

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet on the remote computers through a remote session. Enter a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet, or an array of these objects. The default is to run the cmdlet on the local computer. For more information, see About_CimSession.

Type: CimSession[]
Position: 1
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-ComputerName

Specifies the names of the computers on which you want to perform the operation. You can specify a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), a NetBIOS name, or an IP address for each computer. For more information see Invoke-CimMethod on MSDN.

Type: String[]
Position: 0
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

Inputs

None.

Outputs

The CIM/WMI objects of class \Root\Microsoft\Windows\BootEventCollector\TargetForwarding.

The objects contain the fields:

  • <TargetEndpoint> : The target computer's endpoint information in human-readable format, as its host:port string (for example, 127.0.0.1:50000).
  • <TargetMac> : The target computer's MAC address (if known).
  • <TargetGuid> : The target computer's SMBIOS GUID (if known).
  • <CollectorEndpoint> : The host:port information of the endpoint on the collector side.
  • <Computer> : Target computer name, as determined by the collector according to its configuration.
  • <ForwarderType> : Type of the forwarder (such as 'etl').
  • <Destination> : Destination of the data. The meaning depends on the forwarder type. A file name (such as for the ETL forwarder), or some other identification.
  • <DestinationPattern> : Pattern used to generate the destination of the data. The meaning depends on the forwarder type and configuration. For a fixed destination, would be the same as the destination itself. For the destination with rotation of the files would contain the pattern characters that will be replaced with the actual index in the destination.
  • <Error> : Error message if an error was encountered. Otherwise will be empty.
  • <ConnectedSince> : CIM timestamp of when the connection was established.
