I needed to execute a script that should send an email whenever AppPool Recycle event occurs in the server - came with below script that check whether AppPool recycled in every 10 minutes.

$startTime = Get-Date
$appPoolName = "cm-local.website"


function Check-AppPoolRecycle {
    $events = Get-WinEvent -LogName "System" -FilterXPath "*[System[(EventID=5074)]]" |
       Where-Object { $_.Message -like "*$appPoolName*" -and $_.TimeCreated -ge $startTime } |
        Select-Object TimeCreated, Id, Message
    
    foreach ($event in $events) { 
        Write-Output "The application pool '$appPoolName' has been recycled at $($event.TimeCreated)"       
        #Send Email
    }
}

# Monitor the app pool recycle events
while ($true) {
    Check-AppPoolRecycle
    Start-Sleep -Seconds 600 # Adjust the interval as needed
}

I put the script in Persistent session using following script -

$scriptPath = "master:/sitecore/system/Modules/PowerShell/Script Library/AppPoolRecycle"

Start-ScriptSession -Path $scriptPath -Id "PersistentSession1" -Interactive

I could see that it's running the Persistent Session in PowerShellBackground Session Manager - enter image description here

The problem is when AppPool Recycle happens, the session doesn't persistent - it goes away. How do I make the session persistent regardless of AppPool recycle?

    This seems like something that should be handled at the OS level. Like perhaps a scheduled task that reads the event log. Commented Nov 17, 2024 at 3:17
  • Makes sense, will try scheduled task. Thanks a lot Michael. Commented Nov 17, 2024 at 16:42
