Expected Behavior:

Cmdlet should display Event info as it does when not using -AfterDate parameter

Hello Matt,

I have taken a look at this issue, this seems to be caused by the default PowerShell behavior of displayings arrays, or multiple arrays of objects.

What happens in the console is that the output of the second array is determined by the output of the first array. So for example, using different cmdlets you can see the difference in output:

get-item /;get-process | select -first 1

get-item /

get-process | select -first 1

That being said, your issue does highlight two issues with the Get-RubrikEvent function as it behaves now. It should not be outputting the empty json response. And the Convert-APIDateTime function should only be called if the time field actually exists. I have created a branch and started work on resolving these issues.
