Simple vCloud Director healthtest with Powershell

There is ALWAYS a better way to write Powershell, but my definition of success for this task was "quick to write", and "does the job"!

Feel free to amend to your own requirements - and don't forget to change the hostnames ;)

#Setup http client

$webClient = new-object System.Net.WebClient

$webClient.Headers.Add("user-agent", "PowerShell Script")

#Get content of VCD health page

$cell1health = $webClient.DownloadString("https://cloudcell01/cloud/server_status")

$cell2health = $webClient.DownloadString("https://cloudcell02/cloud/server_status")

#Guilty unless proven innocent!

$cell1ActionRequired = "Yes"

$cell2ActionRequired = "Yes"

#Determine is server is healthy

if ($cell1health -eq "Service is up.") {$cell1actionrequired = "No"}

if ($cell2health -eq "Service is up.") {$cell2actionrequired = "No"}

#Write results to screen

write-host "Cell1 action required: " $cell1ActionRequired

write-host "Cell2 action required: " $cell2ActionRequired
