I am currently developing a script to check the SSL Cert expiration for multiple Domains. Therefore I wrote a script starting with

param([String[]] $urls)
Write-Host "<prtg>"

foreach ($url in $urls){
	...
}

Write-Host "</prtg>"

If I run this directly from powershell .\myScript.ps1 host1.com,host2.de,host3.org it runs perfect. If I add the script as XML Custom EXE/Script Sensor it does not loop through the parameters. Somehow host1.com,host2.de,host3.org is not passed as array. It is passed as string and I get

-736809 # (host1.com,host2.de,host3.org) is below the error limit of....

How do I have to pass the arguments to be looped through the foreach loop?

Kind regards, Steff

Hi Steff,

I suppose you just need to extend your script with a split() command to retrieve the domains as string array.

$urlList = $url.split(",")

This should work.

Either that what Jo said or pass the array in the parameters: -Urls @("www.google.com","www.heise.de")

Thank you Jo Thank you Stephan

For the sake of simplicity to the Enduser, i've implemented the solution from Jo. It works perfectley.

I'would like to publish the script. Where should i do this?

Kind regards and thanks a lot for your support.
