Get-SilData

  • Reference
Module:
SoftwareInventoryLogging

Displays a point in time collection of all Software Inventory Logging data.

Syntax

Get-SilData
   [[-FileName] <String>]
   [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
   [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
   [-AsJob]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Get-SilData cmdlet displays a point in time collection from all Software Inventory Logging data sources. If this cmdlet runs on a Hyper-V Windows Server host that is running at least Windows Server® 2012 R2, it will also display data from all guests that are also running at least Windows Server 2012 R2 running in virtual machines on that host. Data is collected at the point in time when the cmdlet runs.

Windows Server running in guest virtual machines needs to have Software Inventory Logging started and inventory collection run at least once. The default setting is stopped.

This command displays a point in time collection Software Inventory Logging data.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete. The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet. For more information about Windows PowerShell® background jobs, see about_Jobs.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Type:CimSession[]
Aliases:Session
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-FileName

Specifies the name of a file. This file is used by Software Inventory Logging to define the data sources. By default, the Software Inventory Logging service looks for the file named silconfig.mof.

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

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Type:Int32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
