Synopsis

Adds a listener to aws service calls and enable logging.

Syntax

SimpleListener (Default)
Add-AWSLoggingListener
-Name <String>
-LogFilePath <String>
-Source <String>
CustomListener
Add-AWSLoggingListener
-TraceListener <TraceListener>
-Source <String>

Description

Adds a single trace listener to the specified trace source. Given a name and file path, creates a TextWriterTraceListener with the given name and file path, and adds it to the listeners for the trace source. If Source is not specified, 'Amazon' is assumed, which represents all SDK API calls. In the case where there are multiple listeners for multiple sources, Trace calls for an API will go to the most specific source only. For example, if one listener is added to 'Amazon.S3' and another on 'Amazon', then S3 calls will only be logged to the former listener.

Examples

Example 1

Add-AWSLoggingListener -Name MyAWSLogs -LogFilePath c:\logs\aws.txt
Attaches a listener for the source 'Amazon', matching responses from all services for the current script or shell. Log output will be written to the specified file (the folder path must exist). Multiple listeners for different namespaces can be active at a time. By default only error responses are logged.

Example 2

Add-AWSLoggingListener -Name MyS3Logs -LogFilePath c:\logs\s3.txt -Source Amazon.S3
Attaches a listener for the source 'Amazon.S3'. Responses matching only this namespace will be logged to the specified file (the folder path must exist). Multiple listeners for different namespaces can be active at a time. By default only error responses are logged.
