Make sure, the variables $logfile and $processId are present before calling this. Otherwise they will be created automatically and you are notified about the location and the current process id
The variables could be filled like

$logfile = ".\test.log"
$processId = [guid]::NewGuid()

The process id is good for parallel calls/processes so you know they belong together
