sql failed jobs export to csv with powershell - powershell

Question

I am battling with a PowerShell script that captures all SQL Failed jobs for the past day and exports it to .CSV
Please view code below.
param (
#[string]$serverInstance = '03RNB-VSQLPRD4\SQLPRD04
)
begin {
[void][reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo")
}
process {
try {
Write-Verbose "List failed SQL Server jobs using SMO..."
$serverInstance = Get-Content "C:\MountSpaceCollector\SQLJobFailures\servers2.txt";
$server = new-object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.server $serverInstance
$results = #()
$reasons = #()
$jobs = $server.jobserver.jobs | where-object {$_.isenabled}
# Process all SQL Agent Jobs looking for failed jobs based on the last run outcome
foreach ($job in $jobs) {
[int]$outcome = 0
[string]$reason = ""
# Did the job fail completely?
if ($job.LastRunOutcome -eq "Failed") {
$outcome++
$reasons += "Job failed: " + $job.name + " Result: " + $job.LastRunOutcome
# Did any of the steps fail?
foreach ($jobStep in $job.jobsteps) {
if ($jobStep.LastRunOutcome -ne "Succeeded") {
$outcome++
$reasons += "Step failed: " + $jobStep.name + " Result: " + $jobStep.LastRunOutcome
}
}
}
if ($outcome -gt 0) {
$jobFailure = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property #{
Name = $job.name
LastRunDate = $job.lastrundate
LastRunOutcome = $reasons
}
$results += $jobFailure
}
}
Write-Output $results | Export-CSV -Path 'C:\MountSpaceCollector\SQLJobFailures\SQLJobFailures.csv' -Delimiter '|'
}
catch [Exception] {
Write-Error $Error[0]
$err = $_.Exception
while ( $err.InnerException ) {
$err = $err.InnerException
Write-Output $err.Message
Write-Output $results
}
}
}
But It Exports all except the last field (LastRunOutcome). It only displays "System.Object[]"?
Can anyone please assist with this as I do not know what I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

It's because $Reasons is an object, more specifically an array. You need to format the reasons differently, as a string for instance, to be able to have it appear in the CSV normally.
Perhaps you meant to use the string $Reason that you declare, but don't use?
