I'm a happy user of Pulseway Manager. I use Pulseway Manager Enterprise (but for this topic it doesn't really matter). I manage quite large deployment with 250 Pulseway monitored machines. Someone else installed (via GPO) and did some basic setup. After running basic setup for a while, someone else changed some settings and tweaked it a bit. Finally ... again someone said lets change things around...
This got me to this point... I have to change:
CPU
For all servers CPU > 90% for 30minutes > CRITICAL
RAM
RAM on 1 HOST – 5% for 30 min > CRITICAL
Disable Low RAM on VM's
Disable Low RAM in Azure
Enable storage for any drives the servers have
20GB free > ELEVATED
10GB free > CRITICAL
While I could just assign some poor guy to go thru 60+ servers and change things, make sure those are correct I decided it's time to introduce PowerShell for those Active Directory admins out there... while I know there is Pulseway GPO but it's kind of limited, and doesn't give much flexibility (for example drive monitoring). It also overwrites settings set locally without Pulseway actually showing them on Client.
Since it covers my needs for now I was wondering if there is any interest in this? I don't want to spend time on it if there's no one else needing this

I've published it on github
https://github.com/EvotecIT/PSPulsewayManager
But its also published in PowerShellGallery which allows you to install it ....
Install-Module PSPulsewayManager
Import-Module PSPulsewayManager
Use the commands.. Keep in mind I've not spent a ton of time on it. There are bugs, some things are not checked.. but it does work ;-)
