Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Powershell: How to receive data inputs from Skype synthetic transactions?

[x3bandy]

I'm trying to use Splunk to run synthetic transactions in powershell and receiving the results.

I've Installed the Add-on for PowerShell on the universal forwarder installed on one of the front end servers.
I have added the following lines in inputs.conf of the universal forwarder

[powershell://Syn-Trans]
script = Test-CsIm -TargetFQDN (Get-CsComputer -Local).pool | Select-Object TargetFqdn, Result, Latency,  @{n="SplunkHost";e={$Env:SPLUNK_SERVER_NAME}}
schedule = */30 * * * *
sourcetype = WinEventLog:Microsoft-Windows-PowerShell/Synthetics

But the result does not turn up in Search.

does your script work without Splunk?

here's how to check if it's working in Splunk: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/latest/MSPowerShell/Troubleshooting
