Feature Request: Make New-WinEvent pipeline friendly
See original GitHub issueSummary of the new feature/enhancement
Write-EventLog does not currently accept pipeline input, although it might be useful in situations where you want to log multiple events log entries of the same type:
Get-SomeInformation |Write-EventLog -LogName Application -Source -EventID 100
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
- Update the
Messageparameter attribute to setValueFromPipeline - Override
ProcessRecord()inWriteEventLogCommand - Move
_myevent.WriteEntry()call intoProcessRecord()implementation
We might optionally want to consider an alternative InputObject parameter in a separate set that passes non-string “messages” through OutStringCommand before writing them to the event log

Fair enough, let’s make
New-WinEventpipeline friendly then! 😅@iSazonov as long as it’s a documented API, it can be used. Whether it’s the right API to use, I’ll defer to code review.
