VMware PowerCLI

I understand the question now. Let me check and get back to you.

My issue is, I don't have the same information between the 2 commands.

So can you tell me the correspondence between the service name in service-control command (see below) VS service name in Get-VIApplianceService cmdlet ? Thanks !

applmgmt => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

lookupsvc => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

lwsmd => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

observability => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

observability-vapi => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

pschealth => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vlcm => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmafdd => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmcad => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmdird => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmonapi => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-analytics => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-certificateauthority => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-certificatemanagement => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-cis-license => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-content-library => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-eam => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-envoy => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-hvc => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-infraprofile => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-perfcharts => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-pod => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-postgres-archiver => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-rhttpproxy => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-sca => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-sps => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-statsmonitor => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-stsd => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-topologysvc => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-trustmanagement => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-updatemgr => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-vapi-endpoint => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-vdtc => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-vmon => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-vpostgres => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-vpxd => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-vpxd-svcs => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-vsan-health => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vmware-vsm => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vsphere-ui => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vstats => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

vtsdb => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

wcp => Get-VIApplianceService -Name ??

I still don't understand the problem. You could do Get-VIApplianceService | select Name, State to only get the name and the state.

If you want output similar to the one above you can achieve that as well like this:
$running = Get-VIApplianceService -State Started | select Name
$stopped = Get-VIApplianceService -State Stopped | select Name
Write-Host "Running: `n" + $running.Name
Write-Host "Stopped: `n" $stopped.Name

The idea is to get the information about vCSA service status (see below) in a formatted Powershell way, maybe a new cmdlet may be necessary (Get-VcsaServices?) :

root@vcenter [ ~ ]# service-control --status

Running:

applmgmt lookupsvc lwsmd observability observability-vapi pschealth vlcm vmafdd vmcad vmdird vmonapi vmware-analytics vmware-certificateauthority vmware-certificatemanagement vmware-cis-license vmware-content-library vmware-eam vmware-envoy vmware-hvc vmware-infraprofile vmware-perfcharts vmware-pod vmware-postgres-archiver vmware-rhttpproxy vmware-sca vmware-sps vmware-statsmonitor vmware-stsd vmware-topologysvc vmware-trustmanagement vmware-updatemgr vmware-vapi-endpoint vmware-vdtc vmware-vmon vmware-vpostgres vmware-vpxd vmware-vpxd-svcs vmware-vsan-health vmware-vsm vsphere-ui vstats vtsdb wcp

Stopped:

vmcam vmware-imagebuilder vmware-netdumper vmware-rbd-watchdog vmware-vcha

The actual cmdlet Get-VIApplianceService returns (see Link) which is not useful

Can you please elaborate a bit further on what additional information you would like to get. PowerCLI uses the public REST API, that returns the services (https://developer.vmware.com/apis/vsphere-automation/latest/appliance/api/appliance/services/get/) and currently this API only returns the service description and state. If you can say what else is required we may be able to forward this request to the API owners.
