# 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.

## Examples

::: example
### 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:

1. Run the [`Get-VBOServerComponents`](get-vboservercomponents.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Specify the `Id` parameter value. Save the result to the `$proxy` variable.
2. Run the `Set-VBOServerComponents` cmdlet. Set the `$proxy` variable as the `Components` parameter value. Set the `true` value for the `EnableExtendedLogging` parameter.

### 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:

1. Run the [`Get-VBOServerComponents`](get-vboservercomponents.md) cmdlet.
2. Pipe the cmdlet output to the [`Where-Object`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/where-object) cmdlet. Specify the script block value for the `FilterScript` parameter.
3. Pipe the cmdlet output to the `Set-VBOServerComponents` cmdlet. Set the `true` value for the `EnableExtendedLogging` parameter.

### 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:

1. Run the [`Get-VBOServerComponents`](get-vboservercomponents.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Specify the `Id` parameter value. Save the result to the `$proxy` variable.
2. Run the `Set-VBOServerComponents` cmdlet. Set the `$proxy` variable as the `Components` parameter value. Set the `false` value for the `EnableExtendedLogging` parameter.

### 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:

1. Run the [`Get-VBOServerComponents`](get-vboservercomponents.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Specify the `Id` parameter value. Save the result to the `$proxy` variable.
