.SYNOPSIS Send custom event .DESCRIPTION Send custom event with configurable properties and metrics. This is the most versatile telemetry instrument. Properties and Metrics can all be evaluated in e.g. PowerBI or an AppInsights query. .PARAMETER EventName Name of the event .PARAMETER Properties Dictionary of properties and their values. .PARAMETER PropertiesHash A Hashtable of properties and values. Both properties as well as values will be convert to string .PARAMETER Metrics Dictionary of metrics and their values .PARAMETER MetricsHash A Hashtable of metrics and values. Both metrics as well as values will be convert to string .PARAMETER ModuleName Auto-generated, used to select the proper configuration in case you have different modules .EXAMPLE Send-THEvent -EventName ModuleImport -PropertiesHash @{PSVersionUsed = $PSVersionTable.PSVersion} Sends a ModuleImport event with the PowerShell Version that has been used. #> function Send-THEvent { [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName = 'dictionary')] param ( [Parameter(ParameterSetName = 'dictionary', Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeline = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)] [Parameter(ParameterSetName = 'hashtable', Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeline = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)] [string] $EventName, [Parameter(ParameterSetName = 'dictionary')] [System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[string, string]] $Properties, [Parameter(ParameterSetName = 'hashtable')] [System.Collections.Hashtable] $PropertiesHash, [Parameter(ParameterSetName = 'dictionary')] [System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[string, double]] $Metrics, [Parameter(ParameterSetName = 'hashtable')] [System.Collections.Hashtable] $MetricsHash, [Parameter(ParameterSetName = 'hashtable')] [Parameter(ParameterSetName = 'dictionary')] [string] $ModuleName = (Get-CallingModule) ) begin { $telemetryInstance = Get-THTelemetryConfiguration -ModuleName $ModuleName if ($null -eq $telemetryInstance) { Initialize-THTelemetry -ModuleName $ModuleName $telemetryInstance = Get-THTelemetryConfiguration -ModuleName $ModuleName } if ($MetricsHash) { $Metrics = New-Object -TypeName 'System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[string, double]' foreach ($kvp in $MetricsHash.GetEnumerator()) { $Metrics.Add([string]$kvp.Key, [double]$kvp.Value) } } if ($PropertiesHash) { $Properties = New-Object -TypeName 'System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[string, string]' foreach ($kvp in $PropertiesHash.GetEnumerator()) { $Properties.Add([string]$kvp.Key, [string]$kvp.Value) } } } process { try { if ($Properties -and $Metrics) { $telemetryInstance.SendEvent($EventName, $Properties, $Metrics) } elseif ($Properties) { $telemetryInstance.SendEvent($EventName, $Properties) } elseif ($Metrics) { $telemetryInstance.SendEvent($EventName, $null, $Metrics) } else { $telemetryInstance.SendEvent($EventName) } } catch { Stop-PSFFunction -Message "Unable to send event $EventName to ApplicationInsights" -Exception $_.Exception } } end { try { $telemetryInstance.Flush() } catch { Stop-PSFFunction -Message "Unable to flush telemetry client.
