# Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. # Licensed under the MIT License. Set-StrictMode -Version 3.0 <# os_log notes: There are no public APIs on MacOS for consuming os_log data or collecting log output in real-time. To get log data in a programmatically consumable format, the data must first be extracted then converted to a raw text format. Extraction requires the following steps: 1: Snapshot the current time 2: Enable persistence of PowerShell log entries See Set-OsLogPersistence 3: Run powershell to generate the expected log output 4: Run 'log collect' to retrieve log records after a specific timestamp from the system logs. Note that the extracted data is still not directly consumable. 5: Run 'log show' to convert the extracted data to text and redirect it to a file. The --predicate can be used at this point to filter extracted records. The typical filter is 'process == "pwsh"' The redirected text file can then be consumed by this module. Example command-lines: sudo log collect --start "2018-02-07 14:33:30" --output ./system.logarchive log show ./system.logarchive/ --info --predicate 'process == "pwsh"' >pwsh.log.txt Parsing Notes: * Sample contains 6.0.1 content (which is out of date) revise with 6.1.0 preview * Ensure analytic data is considered when parsing; specifically Provider_Lifecycle:ProviderStart.Method.Informational * Multi-line output is expected. Parsing needs to detect the timestamp at the beginning of a line and append subsequent lines to the message until the next 'log' line is found. * Header lines need to be skipped. Sample output from 'log show' illustrating one single-line entry and one multi-line entry. Analytic log items are often multi-line because the message text contains newline characters. ========== /Users/psbuildacct/system.logarchive ========== Timestamp Thread Type Activity PID 2018-02-07 14:34:35.256501-0800 0x2a3730 Default 0x0 39437 pwsh: (libpsl-native.dylib) [com.microsoft.powershell.powershell] (v6.0.1:1:10) [Perftrack_ConsoleStartupStart:PowershellConsoleStartup.WinStart.Informational] PowerShell console is starting up 2018-02-07 14:34:35.562003-0800 0x2a373a Default 0x0 39437 pwsh: (libpsl-native.dylib) [com.microsoft.powershell.powershell] (v6.0.1:4:11) [Provider_Lifecycle:ProviderStart.Method.Informational] Provider Alias changed state to Started.
