PsLogger

Structured logging PowerShell module.

Synopsis

• OTel numeric severity logs
• Writes JSONL output.
• Export logs to Loki via tailing JSONL logs. Vector included for this in compose.
• Push spans/traces over OTLP. Measure time to execute script blocks.
• Console output still works normally. WinEvent if you're a goofy guy.
