Get-LTProbeErrors

Read probe error entries from the agent log.

Synopsis

Reads %ltsvcdir%\LTProbeErrors.txt (typically C:\Windows\LTSVC\LTProbeErrors.txt) and parses each entry into a structured PSCustomObject. The BasePath is resolved via Get-LTServiceInfo; when that is unavailable it falls back to %windir%\LTSVC.

This function mirrors the structure of Get-LTError but targets the probe-specific log file. It is useful on agents that have the Probe role enabled ((Get-LTServiceInfo).Probe -eq '1').

Log entries are delimited by ::: and each entry is tab-separated into three fields: service version, timestamp, and message.

Syntax

Get-LTProbeErrors [<CommonParameters>]

Parameters

This command has no named parameters. It accepts only PowerShell common parameters.

Return Values

Returns a collection of PSCustomObject items, one per log entry.

ServiceVersion · string

The version string of the LTSvc service that wrote the log entry.

Timestamp · datetime

The parsed date and time the entry was written. Parsed with [datetime]::Parse() for broad international locale support; entries that cannot be parsed produce an empty value.

Message · string

The probe error or status message text for the log entry.
