I developed some standard functions to handle the creating and management of log files for my PowerShell scripts. These functions were stored in a file called Logging_Functions.ps1 and I would simply dot source them into my script to be able to use them. I posted them on 9to5IT PowerShell: How to easily create log files for your scripts and since then, to my surprise, they have been well received by many people, and hence the post has become quite a popular one. Recently one of the users emailed me and made a suggestion to convert them into a PowerShell Module. That got me thinking…. so I have made a number of improvements to the PowerShell logging functions and have now made them available as a PowerShell Logging module. Available right here, below…. Before I get into the details of the PowerShell Logging module (called PSLogging), let's walk through a few administrative items, such as why should you even use log files and what are the improvements in the PowerShell Logging version 2. Why create log files for your PowerShell scripts? Why you would anyone want to create and use log files for their PowerShell scripts in the first place? Here are some of my thoughts around the subject… #1 Create re-usable, clean solutions I find that most admins see scripting as a quick fix for a manual or repetitive task. For this reason most scripts are developed with the mentality of a once off use, as opposed to developing a tool or solution that can be re-used in the future (even if its just in part). A key component in developing a re-usable tool or solution is error handling and logging. This gives the user of the script a seamless experience, resulting in greater up-take and re-use of your scripts, especially within non-scripting admins. For this reason, I believe that logging should be an mandatory component of any script that is going to be used on an ongoing or regular basis or if it is to be used by someone other than yourself. Personally, most of the scripts I write are
