18.7. The get-tracesource Cmdlet

The get-tracesource cmdlet lists properties for given trace sources.

In addition to the common parameters, the get-tracesource cmdlet supports one parameter:

• Name — Specifies trace sources

To find all the possible values for the Name parameter of the trace-command cmdlet, use this command:

get-tracesource -Name *

You can count the number of trace sources available to you using the following code:

$TraceSources = get-tracesource -Name *
$TraceSources.Count

In the version I am running at the time of writing, there are 173 values possible for the Name parameter.

The command

get-tracesource -Name Param*

returns information about all trace sources whose name begins with Param. The results of executing the preceding command are shown in Figure 18-21.
