- Logging
- Telemetry
- Examples
All commands will log to the console, as well as to a log file, by default.
The logging is affected by configuration properties (which can be checked with
Get-GitHubConfiguration and changed with Set-GitHubConfiguration).
LogPath [string] The logfile. Defaults to
$env:USERPROFILE\Documents\PowerShellForGitHub.log
DisableLogging [bool] Defaults to $false.
LogTimeAsUtc [bool] Defaults to $false. If $false, times are logged in local time.
When $true, times are logged using UTC (and those timestamps will end with a Z per the
W3C standard)
LogProcessId [bool] Defaults to $false. If $true, the
Process ID ($global:PID) of the current PowerShell process will be added
to every log entry. This can be helpful if you have situations where
multiple instances of this module run concurrently and you want to
more easily isolate the log entries for one process. An alternative
solution would be to use Set-GitHubConfiguration -LogPath <path> -SessionOnly to specify a
different log file for each PowerShell process. An easy way to view the filtered
entries for a session is (replacing PID with the PID that you are interested in):
Get-Content -Path <logPath> -Encoding UTF8 | Where { $_ -like '*[[]PID[]]*' }
In order to track usage, gauge performance and identify areas for improvement, telemetry is employed during execution of commands within this module (via Application Insights). For more information, refer to the Privacy Policy.
You may notice some needed assemblies for communicating with Application Insights being downloaded on first run of a command within each PowerShell session. The automatic dependency downloads section of the setup documentation describes how you can avoid having to always re-download the telemetry assemblies in the future.
We recommend that you always leave the telemetry feature enabled, but a situation may arise where it must be disabled for some reason. In this scenario, you can disable telemetry by calling:
Set-GitHubConfiguration -DisableTelemetry -SessionOnlyThe effect of that value will last for the duration of your session (until you close your
console window). To make that change permanent, remove -SessionOnly from that call.
The following type of information is collected:
- Every major command executed (to gauge usefulness of the various commands)
- Types of parameters used with the command
- Error codes / information
The following information is also collected, but the reported information is only reported in the form of an SHA512 Hash (to protect PII (personal identifiable information)):
- Username
- OwnerName
- RepositoryName
- OrganizationName
The hashing of the above items can be disabled (meaning that the plaint-text data will be reported instead of the hash of the data) by setting
Set-GitHubConfiguration -DisablePiiProtection -SessionOnlySimilar to DisableTelemetry, the effect of this value will only last for the duration of
your session (until you close your console window), unless you call it without -SessionOnly.
The first time telemetry is tracked in a new PowerShell session, a reminder message will be displayed to the user. To suppress this reminder in the future, call:
Set-GitHubConfiguration -SuppressTelemetryReminderFinally, the Application Insights Key that the telemetry is reported to is exposed as
Get-GitHubConfiguration -Name ApplicationInsightsKeyIt is requested that you do not change this value, otherwise the telemetry will not be reported to us for analysis. We expose it here for complete transparency.
