Understanding Event Sources
--------------------------- Event Sources are scripts that produce events. They are generally named @NameOfSource.ps1. Events in PowerShell can be produced in two ways: * .NET Objects can produce events. * An event can be sent by PowerShell. An event source script can return any object with events, and indicate which events to subscribe to either by addding a [Diagnostics.Tracing.EventSource(Name='EventName')] attribute or by adding a noteproperty called "EventName" to the return. Event sources can be found a few places: * In the current directory * In any function whose name starts with @ * In the directory where Watch-Event is defined * In the module root where Watch-Event is defined * In an .OnQ [Hashtable] within a module manifest's private data You can see the event sources currently available with: ~~~PowerShell Get-EventSource ~~~ |
