Logging

The Server Configuration Manager comes with integrated logging to the Windows Eventlog. Upon import / launch it will register its own application eventlog if not yet present, including 4 different souces:

ScmLauncher	Events written by the launcher before the SCM module executes
ScmExecution	Events written by the SCM module itself, but not the Actions executed
ScmAction	Events written by the individual Actions
ScmDebug	Events written by anybody that are mostly intended for debug purposes and not relevant to actual execution success or failure

To write log entries, use the Write-ScmLog function. All actions should generate errors when the execution script fails.

Note: Passing any error records to the functions -ErrorRecord parameter will generate a second eventlog entry - a warning - with a processed message content, displaying the error record as useful as possible for debugging purposes. Be sure to not pass on errors that can contain secrets or otherwise sensitive information.
