SQL Server Agent job history to HTML report - html

Question

I am trying to output SQL Server Agent job history into an HTML report and send it to mail as a check in office.
Here's my code:
$tabName = "Report"
$table = New-Object system.Data.DataTable "$tabName"
$col1 = New-Object system.Data.DataColumn "Server",([string])
$col2 = New-Object system.Data.DataColumn "Job Name",([string])
$col3 = New-Object system.Data.DataColumn "Step Name",([string])
$col4 = New-Object system.Data.DataColumn "Message",([string])
$col5 = New-Object system.Data.DataColumn "RunDate",([string])
$table.columns.add($col1)
$table.columns.add($col2)
$table.columns.add($col3)
$table.columns.add($col4)
$table.columns.add($col5)
$data = (Get-SqlAgentJobHistory -ServerInstance SQLServ1 -JobName "syspolicy_purge_history" -Since Yesterday | Select-Object Server, JobName, StepName, Message, RunDate )
$row = $table.NewRow()
$row."Server" = ($data."Server")
$row."Job Name" = ($data."JobName")
$row."Step Name" = ($data."StepName")
$row."Message" = ($data."Message")
$row."RunDate" = ($data."RunDate")
$table.Rows.Add($row)
$Head = #"
<style>
body {
font-family: "Arial";
font-size: 8pt;
color: #4C607B;
}
th, td {
border: 1px solid #e57300;
border-collapse: collapse;
padding: 5px;
}
th {
font-size: 1.2em;
text-align: left;
background-color: #003366;
color: #ffffff;
}
td {
color: #000000;
}
.even { background-color: #ffffff; }
.odd { background-color: #bfbfbf; }
</style>
"#
$Report = [string]$body = [PSCustomObject]$table | select-Object Server, JobName, StepName, Message, RunDate | ConvertTo-HTML -head $Head -Body "<font color=`"Black`"><h4>SQL Job History</h4></font>" | Out-File "C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\scripts\sql job history\report.html"
The HTML fields I've added display when I output the report but not the content.
Any advise on this one please?

Answer 1

You need to foreach over the results from Get-SqlAgentJobHistory, eg
foreach ( $r in $data )
{
$row = $table.NewRow()
$row."Server" = ($r."Server")
$row."Job Name" = ($r."JobName")
$row."Step Name" = ($r."StepName")
$row."Message" = ($r."Message")
$row."RunDate" = ($r."RunDate")
$table.Rows.Add($row)
}

Try the code below. It sends an email with jobs information for the last 24 hours.
Just replace 'email_recipients_list' and 'url_to_ssis_jobs_monitoring_report' with relevant values.
DECLARE

SET #email_recipients='email_recipients_list'
SET #email_body_format='HTML'
SET #table_style = 'cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid black;"';
SET #from = DATEADD(day, -1, getdate())
SET #periode = 'between ' + FORMAT(DATEADD(d, -1, GETDATE()), 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:MM:ss') + ' and ' + FORMAT(GETDATE(), 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:MM:ss')
