Description

Allows you to store additional custom data against given ConfigurationLogging Service objects.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Add metadata with a name of 'property' and a value of 'value' to the Service with the identifier '4CECC26E-48E1-423F-A1F0-2A06DDD0805C'.
Set-LogServiceMetadata -ServiceHostId 4CECC26E-48E1-423F-A1F0-2A06DDD0805C -Name property -Value value

Key                                       Value
---                                       -----
property                                  value

Parameters

-Name

Specifies the property name of the metadata to be added. The property must be unique for the Service specified. The property cannot contain any of the following characters \/;:#.*?=\<\>\|\[\]()"'
Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Required: True
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
Length range: 1 to 64
Disallowed characters: \/;:#.*?=<>\|[]()"'

-Value

Specifies the value for the property.
Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Required: True
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
Length range: 1 to 1000

-Map

Specifies a dictionary of (name, value)-pairs for the properties. This can either be a hashtable (created with @{"name1" = "val1"; "name2" = "val2"}) or a string dictionary (created with new-object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary\[String,String\]").
Type: PSObject
Position: Named
Default value: None
Required: True
Accept pipeline input: True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False

-ServiceHostId

Id of the Service
Type: Guid
Position: 2
Default value: None
Required: True
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName, ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False

-InputObject

ConfigurationLogging service objects to which metadata is to be added.
Type: Service[]
Position: 2
Default value: None
Required: True
Accept pipeline input: True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False

-LoggingId

Specifies the identifier of the high-level operation this cmdlet call forms a part of. Citrix Studio and Director typically create high-level operations. PowerShell scripts can also wrap a series of cmdlet calls in a high-level operation by way of the Start-LogHighLevelOperation and Stop-LogHighLevelOperation cmdlets.
Type: Guid
Position: Named
Default value: None
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

CommonParameters

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutVariable, -OutBuffer, -PipelineVariable, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.
