Install-PSFLoggingProvider

SYNOPSIS

Installs a logging provider for the PSFramework.

SYNTAX

Install-PSFLoggingProvider [[-Name] <String>] [-EnableException] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

This command installs a logging provider registered with the PSFramework.

Some providers may require special installation steps, that cannot be handled by the common initialization / configuration. For example, a provider may require installation of binaries that require elevation.

In order to cover those scenarios, a provider can include an installation script, which is called by this function. It can also provide additional parameters to this command, which are dynamically provided once the -Name parameter has been passed.

When registering the logging provider (Using Register-PSFLoggingProvider), you can specify the logic executed by this command with these parameters:

NOTE: This module does not contain help/guidance on how to generate dynamic parameters!
