replacing values in property

PowerShell Help
1

hi ,

I have an object that I would like to change some values for:

example:

$object = New-Object -TypeName psobject -property @{
    ScheduledDowntime = $ThrukhostService.host_scheduled_downtime_depth | Select-Object -Unique
    InCheckPeriod = $Thrukhost.in_check_period
    InNotificationPeriod	= $Thrukhost.in_notification_period
    NotificationPeriod = $Thrukhost.notification_period
}

Write-output $object

The property value will produce a value of either 0 or 1. I would like to translate that to $true or $false.
One way is to manually go through each one and do a replace of 1 or 0.

What I would like to do is be a bit smarter and iterate through the properties and change it based on what is already in the property value.

I read through some documentation with what out there on Google, and help on Powershell…but its a bit unclear how to do that.

TIA

There is actually no question. I your example you just create an object based on one other object. If you like to change the value of a property based on its “value” you simply read it, make a conditiponal check and change it accordingly. Then you write it back where you got it.

I would like to reccomend for you to start to learn the basics of Powershell. Her you can find some great resources to start with:

Thanks for the reply @olaf. I am going to revise what I m going to do with this object.

I have already added a type to this object, so I am going to add in typedata with a scriptproperty. I will then create a default view adding the scriptproperties to the default view.

Just to follow up on this. This is what I did:

Update-TypeData -TypeName thrukhost.info -DefaultDisplayPropertySet HOSTNAME, services, Hostflapping, Ipaddress, Uptime, NextScheduledActiveCheck, ScheduledDowntime, ObsessHost -DefaultDisplayProperty HOSTNAME -Force

Update-TypeData -TypeName 'Thrukhost.info' -MemberType ScriptProperty -MemberName "Hostflapping" -Value {
	if ($this.Is_flapping -eq '1') { return $true }
	elseif ($this.Is_flapping -eq '0') { return $false }
}

Update-TypeData -TypeName 'Thrukhost.info' -MemberType ScriptProperty -MemberName "ScheduledDowntime" -Value {
	if ($this.Scheduled_Downtime -eq '1') { return $true }
	elseif ($this.Scheduled_Downtime -eq '0') { return $false }
	
}

Update-TypeData -TypeName 'Thrukhost.info' -MemberType ScriptProperty -MemberName "NotificationsEnabled" -Value {
	if ($this.Notifications_Enabled -eq '1') { return $true }
	elseif ($this.Notifications_Enabled -eq '0') { return $false }
	
}

Update-TypeData -TypeName 'Thrukhost.info' -MemberType ScriptProperty -MemberName "ActiveChecks" -Value {
	if ($this.Active_Checks -eq '1') { return $true }
	elseif ($this.Active_Checks -eq '0') { return $false }
	
}

Update-TypeData -TypeName 'Thrukhost.info' -MemberType ScriptProperty -MemberName "PassiveChecks" -Value {
	if ($this.Passive_Checks -eq '1') { return $true }
	elseif ($this.Passive_Checks -eq '0') { return $false }
	
}

Update-TypeData -TypeName 'Thrukhost.info' -MemberType ScriptProperty -MemberName "ObsessHost" -Value {
	if ($this.Obsessing -eq '1') { return $true }
	elseif ($this.Obsessing -eq '0') { return $false }
	
}

Update-TypeData -TypeName 'Thrukhost.info' -MemberType ScriptProperty -MemberName "FlapDetection" -Value {
	if ($this.Flap_Detection -eq '1') { return $true }
	elseif ($this.Flap_Detection -eq '0') { return $false }
	
}

This way I have created a predefined view. I have created script properties of all the numbers that I want.(This can be added to).
