Run the Add-On with PowerShell

Follow the steps to run add-on with PowerShell:

Step 1 – On computer where you want to execute the add-on, start Windows PowerShell.

Step 2 – Type a path to the add-on. Or simply drag and drop the add-on file in the console window.

Step 3 – Add script parameters. The console will look similar to the following:

Windows PowerShell

PS C:\Users\AddOnUser> C:\Add-ons\Netwrix_Auditor_Add-on_for_Amazon_Web_Services.ps1 - NetwrixAuditorHost 172.28.6.15

NOTE: If the script path contains spaces (e.g., C:\Netwrix Add-ons\), embrace it in double quotes and insert the ampersand (&) symbol in front (e.g., & "C:\Netwrix Add-ons\").

Step 4 – Hit Enter.

Depending on the number of events logged by CloudTrail it may take a while. Ensure the script execution completed successfully. Every time you run a script, Auditor makes a checkpoint with the last imported event. The next time you run the script, it will start retrieving new events.

NOTE: By default, CloudTrail keeps events for 7 days.
