Set-VBOServerComponents

Short Description

Enables or disables the extended logging mode and distributed tracing for an array of the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 server components.

Syntax

Set-VBOServerComponents -Components <VBOServerComponent[]> [-EnableExtendedLogging] [-EnableDistributedTracing] [<CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

This cmdlet enables or disables the extended logging mode and distributed tracing for one or several Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 server components. Extended log records contain additional information such as more detailed description of operations performed during the backup and restore processes, as well as more detailed description of items processed during backup and restore. Distributed tracing tracks requests to the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 backup infrastructure components and allows you to analyze the activity of services.

Parameters

Parameters
Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input
Components	Specifies an array of the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 server components. The cmdlet will enable the extended logging mode and distributed tracing for these components. Note: The extended logging mode and distributed tracing will not be modified for components that are not specified in the `VBOServerComponent[]` object. Accepts the `VBOServerComponent[]` object. To get this object, run the `Get-VBOServerComponents` cmdlet.	`VBOServerComponent[]`	True	Named	True (ByValue)
EnableDistributedTracing	Enables distributed tracing for an array of the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 server components. Default: False Note: To disable distributed tracing for an array of components, you must set the `false` value for this parameter.	`SwitchParameter`	False	Named	False
EnableExtendedLogging	Enables the extended logging mode for an array of the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 server components. Default: False Note: To disable the extended logging mode for an array of components, you must set the `false` value for this parameter.	`SwitchParameter`	False	Named	False

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see the About Common Parameters section of Microsoft Learn.

Examples

Set-VBOServerComponents Example 1: Enabling Extended Logging Mode for Backup Proxy Server

This example shows how to enable the extended logging mode for the 06b7354e-518f-4a10-b4c1-98f49d743012 backup proxy server.

$proxy = Get-VBOServerComponents -Name Proxy -Id 06b7354e-518f-4a10-b4c1-98f49d743012

Set-VBOServerComponents -Components $proxy -EnableExtendedLogging:$true

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBOServerComponents cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Specify the Id parameter value. Save the result to the $proxy variable.
Run the Set-VBOServerComponents cmdlet. Set the $proxy variable as the Components parameter value. Set the true value for the EnableExtendedLogging parameter.

Set-VBOServerComponents Example 2: Enabling Extended Logging Mode for All Backup Proxy Servers [Using Pipeline]

This example shows how to enable the extended logging mode for all backup proxy servers.

Get-VBOServerComponents | Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.Name -eq "Proxy"} | Set-VBOServerComponents -EnableExtendedLogging:$true

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBOServerComponents cmdlet.
Pipe the cmdlet output to the Where-Object cmdlet. Specify the script block value for the FilterScript parameter.
Pipe the cmdlet output to the Set-VBOServerComponents cmdlet. Set the true value for the EnableExtendedLogging parameter.

Set-VBOServerComponents Example 3: Disabling Extended Logging Mode for Backup Proxy Server

This example shows how to disable the extended logging mode for the b8451910-672f-4eec-bfbe-6eba83b91abb backup proxy server.

$proxy = Get-VBOServerComponents -Name Proxy -Id b8451910-672f-4eec-bfbe-6eba83b91abb

Set-VBOServerComponents -Components $proxy -EnableExtendedLogging:$false

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBOServerComponents cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Specify the Id parameter value. Save the result to the $proxy variable.
Run the Set-VBOServerComponents cmdlet. Set the $proxy variable as the Components parameter value. Set the false value for the EnableExtendedLogging parameter.

Set-VBOServerComponents Example 4: Enabling Distributed Tracing for Backup Proxy Server

This example shows how to enable distributed tracing for the 06b7354e-518f-4a10-b4c1-98f49d743012 backup proxy server.

$proxy = Get-VBOServerComponents -Name Proxy -Id 06b7354e-518f-4a10-b4c1-98f49d743012

Set-VBOServerComponents -Components $proxy -EnableDistributedTracing:$true

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBOServerComponents cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Specify the Id parameter value. Save the result to the $proxy variable.
Run the Set-VBOServerComponents cmdlet. Set the $proxy variable as the Components parameter value. Set the true value for the EnableDistributedTracing parameter.
