TRACK SIGN IN EVENTS WITH POWERSHELL LANGUAGE

Track user sign in events in PowerShell

Most of the time, when building a Powershell product that requires users to authenticate and sign in to access the product, you may decide that it is essential to track the sign-in attempts.

Monitoring the sign-in events is an excellent way to track the number of users who continue to log in and use your Powershell application. This is a great way to gauge the effectiveness of your product and measure your user retention rate.

A good understanding of this metric is critical to the success of a product. It can give you great insight into how your business grows and how your users interact with your Powershell product.
