Get-LogSummary [-StartDateRange <DateTime>] [-EndDateRange <DateTime>] [-IntervalSeconds <Int64>] [-GetLowLevelOperations] [-IncludeIncomplete] [-OperationType <OperationType>] [-AdminAddress <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Get-LogSummary cmdlet retrieves summary counts of operations logged within time intervals inside a date range. The returned data indicates the rate at which configuration changes and activities were performed out within a time period.

Parameters

Name Description Required? Pipeline Input Default Value
StartDateRange Specifies the start of the summary period date range false false 1900-01-01 00:00:00
EndDateRange Specifies the end of the summary period date range. false false DateTime.UtcNow
IntervalSeconds Specifies the size, in seconds, of each time interval required within the summary date range. If this is not specified, is null, zero or exceeds the specified date range, it defaults to the total number of seconds between EndDateRange and StartDateRange. false false Total number of seconds in the EndDateRange and StartDateRange time span.
GetLowLevelOperations Specifies if the cmdlet should return low level operation summary counts. false false $false - high level operations counts are returned.
IncludeIncomplete Specifies if incomplete operations should be included in the returned summary counts. false false $false - incomplete operations are excluded.
OperationType Specifies the type of logged operations to include. Values can be 'AdminActivity' or 'ConfigurationChange' false false
AdminAddress Specifies the address of a XenDesktop controller the PowerShell snap-in will connect to. You can provide this as a host name or an IP address. false false Localhost. Once a value is provided by any cmdlet, this value becomes the default.

Input Type

Return Values

System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary

The summary data is returned as a collection of dictionary items. The 'Key' value of each dictionary item specifies the start of the time interval within the overall summary date range. The 'Value' data in each dictionary item contains the count of operations which were started within that time interval.## Notes If the specified summary date range and interval period will result in more than 50,000 intervals being returned Get-LogSummary will generate an error and abort the operation.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

C:\PS> $logSummary = Get-LogSummary

Description
-----------
Get a summary of all completed high level operations. The returned log summary collection will contain a single item for the time period spanning the entire [1900-01-01 00:00:00]-[UtcNow] date range. e.g.
Key ==> Value
01/01/1900 00:00:00 ==> 41

EXAMPLE 2

C:\PS> $daily = 60*60*24
C:\PS> [DateTime]$startRange = "2013-02-01 14:50:39"
C:\PS> [DateTime]$endRange = $startRange.AddDays(14)          
C:\PS> Get-LogSummary -StartDateRange $startRange -EndDateRange $endRange -intervalSeconds $daily

Description
-----------
Gets a summarised count of completed high level operations logged over two weeks, at daily intervals. The returned log summary collection will contain multiple items; one for each day in the summary date range. - e.g.
Key ==> Value

15/02/2013 14:50:39 ==> 12

EXAMPLE 3

C:\PS> $hourly = 60*60
C:\PS> [DateTime]$startRange = "2013-02-03 00:00:00"
C:\PS> [DateTime]$endRange = "2013-02-03 23:59:59"
C:\PS> Get-LogSummary -StartDateRange $startRange -EndDateRange $endRange -intervalSeconds $hourly -GetLowLevelOperations

Description
-----------
Gets a summarised count of completed low level operations logged during a day, at hourly intervals. The returned log summary collection will contain multiple items; one for each hour in the summary date range - e.g.
Key ==> Value
04/03/2013 00:00:00 ==> 12
