Premium: PowerShell Incident Lab
This lab trains three fast incident moves: isolate logs, rank heavy processes, and focus one process.
Step 1: Isolate Log Files
Command Prompt
deploy.log
notes.txt
worker.log
config.json
C:\Users\User>Get-ChildItem
Step 2: Surface Memory Pressure
Command Prompt
pwsh 120
chrome 650
node 210
system 45
C:\Users\User>Get-Process
Step 3: Zoom in on a Single Target
Command Prompt
Name Id Memory
pwsh 4212 120
C:\Users\User>Get-Process | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq 'pwsh'}
Why This Matters
- Keep noise out with
Where-Object. - Keep output readable with
Select-Object. - Prioritize quickly with
Sort-Object -Descending.
