Event log noise

Hello --

I'm looking for the ability to turn off the excessive noise in the
"Windows PowerShell" event log. I'm seeing lots of messages with the
EventID 400/600 paired with 403/601 letting me know that various parts
of the PowerShell machinery have started and stopped. None of these
messages are actionable and they're currently just lots of noise in
what would otherwise be a very quiet log without them...

Thanks,
-- Jason

This is the kind of stuff I'd expect to be cleaned up between RC and RTM
status.

In the mean time, you could filter out "Information" message type in event
viewer. Too bad you can only filter on one message ID, and you can't put a
negative filter on message ID's to say "everything except" (maybe an idea
for a future version).

I suggest to keep an eye on this EventLog PsProvider:
