Description

The centralized logging service (which replaces the OCSLogger and OCSTracer tools used in Microsoft Lync Server 2010) provides a way for administrators to manage logging and tracing for all computers and pools running Skype for Business Server. Centralized logging enables administrators to stop, start, and configure logging for one or more pools and computers by using a single command; for example, you can use one command to enable Address Book service logging on all your Address Book servers. This differs from the OCSLogger and OCSTracer tools, which had to be individually managed (including individually stopped and started) on each server. In addition, the centralized logging service also provides a way for administrators to search trace logs from the command, using the Windows PowerShell command-line interface and the Search-CsClsLogging cmdlet.

With Skype for Business Online, regions are used to determine which users have access to the personally-identifiable information that is written to the log files. Regions are created by using the New-CsClsRegion cmdlet and then are added to a collection of centralized logging configuration settings.

Skype for Business Server Control Panel: The functions carried out by the New-CsClsRegion cmdlet are not available in the Skype for Business Server Control Panel.

Examples

-------------------------- Example 1 --------------------------

New-CsClsRegion -Identity "global/Europe" -SecurityGroupSuffix "EMEA" -OtherRegionAccess "global/US"

The command shown in Example a creates a new global region named Europe. The new region uses the security group suffix EMEA and also allows access by the global/US region.

Parameters

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command.

-InMemory

Creates an object reference without actually committing the object as a permanent change. If you assign the output of this cmdlet called with this parameter to a variable, you can make changes to the properties of the object reference and then commit those changes by calling this cmdlet's matching Set- cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter

-Parent "global"

You can return identities for all your centralizing logging "parents" by using this command:

Get-CsCentralizedLoggingConfiguration | Select-Object Identity

If you use the Name parameter you must also use the Parent parameter. However, you should not use the Identity parameter in the same command as the Name and Parent parameters.
