The PowerShell team has a short post on using V2 cmdlets to Monitor performance counters.

The system I helped build at my previous job gets a nice write-up in Wall Street & Technology:

I’ve updated the PowerShell Coral8 adapter so it can be used to receive input. Rather than demonstrate input from a database or an RSS stream, both of which can are supported by the native Coral8 adapters, I have a demo with WMI events. In this case allowing us to monitor process creation across a network.

In the first post on integrating PowerShell and Coral8 I showed how to create a message sink. In C#ish pseudocode we did the following:

For certain types, PowerShell has automatic properties, by this I mean PowerShell is able to inspect the object and then expose properties where normally you would need to use a string indexer.

A few days ago a thought crept into my head; wouldn’t it be nice if I could have a Coral8 in-process adapter to run PowerShell code? If it worked it could potentially be a “universal” adapter, limiting the need for custom one-off adapters.

Anyone who’s ever done office integration has come across a method definition like so:

A few months ago, over the winter holiday, I put together a Linq provider for the Kdb+ database. The folks at KX systems have graciously provided a place to host the code, which you can find at https://code.kx.com/svn/contrib/sweinstein/linq2kdbplus. Use anonymous/anonymous for access.
