Send Message to Specific Target (Slack) about logging HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @MCrank can you provide an example of the code you're having issue with?

from logging.

Sure thing. Here is my Configuration:

Set-LoggingDefaultLevel -Level $LogLevel
Add-LoggingLevel -Level 50 -LevelName SLACK
$ScriptName = [System.IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name)

Add-LoggingTarget -Name File -Configuration @{
  Path = "$($PSScriptRoot)\Logs\$($env:COMPUTERNAME)_$($ScriptName)_%{+%Y%m%d}.log" 
}

Add-LoggingTarget -Name Slack -Configuration @{
  WebHook = "$env:NightlySlackURL"; 
  Level   = 'SLACK' 
}

So when I needed to send something critical that needs my attention to slack I would call it like this:

Write-Log -Level 'SLACK' -Message "Critical message goes here"

This would write the message to the Log file and send the message to slack as well. With the latest version my Write-Log statements would all get fired to the log and slack even when not targeting the SLACK logging level.

Otherwise I would just call Write-Log and set -Level to one of the default DEBUG, INFO, ERROR, etc to just output to the log file.

Here are the lines that used to handle this in Logging.psm1 I think.

Oh and the version that I am using that works in this way is 2.7.2

Hi @MCrank, since the introductions of defaults target configurations, the default target level doesn't honor the Set-LoggingDefaultLevel (I'll open an issue about that).

Right now you have to explicitly set the target level in the Add-LoggingTarget otherwise it will be set to NOTSET.
