Monitor AppFabric Cache Status Using PowerShell

While working on the AppFabric Cache feature for the current project, I create the following PowerShell script to monitor the AppFabric Cache status.

First, using following DOS command to start AppFabric Cache PowerShell environment in one of the cache host server:

%SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -NoExit -Command "Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned;Import-Module DistributedCacheAdministration;Import-Module DistributedCacheConfiguration;Use-CacheCluster;Cd C:\\;Cls"

Second, assume the script MonitorAppFabricCache.ps1 is under C:\ folder, run following in PowerShell environment. It will generate the output at c:\AppFabricCacheStatus.txt and open the output:

.\MonitorAppFabricCache.ps1

Following is the content of MonitorAppFabricCache.ps1.

$AppFabricCacheStatusFile = "c:\AppFabricCacheStatus.txt"
Get-Date -format g | Out-File $AppFabricCacheStatusFile -Force
Out-File $AppFabricCacheStatusFile -InputObject "" -Append
Out-File $AppFabricCacheStatusFile -InputObject "" -Append
Out-File $AppFabricCacheStatusFile -InputObject "" -Append
Out-File $AppFabricCacheStatusFile -InputObject "Cache hosts status" -Append

foreach ($CacheHost in $CacheHosts)
{

    Out-File $AppFabricCacheStatusFile -InputObject "=========================" -Append
    Get-CacheHostConfig -HostName $CacheHost.HostName -CachePort $CacheHost.PortNo | Out-File $AppFabricCacheStatusFile -Append
}
$Caches = Get-Cache
foreach ($Cache in $Caches)
{
    Out-File $AppFabricCacheStatusFile -InputObject "Cache statistics - $($Cache.CacheName)" -Append
    Out-File $AppFabricCacheStatusFile -InputObject "=========================" -Append
    Get-CacheStatistics -CacheName $Cache.CacheName | Out-File $AppFabricCacheStatusFile -Append

    Out-File $AppFabricCacheStatusFile -InputObject "=========================" -Append
    Get-CacheConfig -CacheName $Cache.CacheName | Out-File $AppFabricCacheStatusFile -Append
}
Out-File $AppFabricCacheStatusFile -InputObject "Regions by cache" -Append
Out-File $AppFabricCacheStatusFile -InputObject "=========================" -Append
