Execute commands like
Write-Log -message "Hello World"
Write-Log -message "Hello World" -severity ([LogSeverity]::ERROR)
"Hello World" | Write-Log
The logfile getting written looks like

separated by tabs.
Make sure, the variables $logfile and $processId are present before calling this. Otherwise they will be created automatically and you are notified about the location and the current process id
The variables could be filled like
$logfile = ".\test.log"
$processId = [guid]::NewGuid()
The process id is good for parallel calls/processes so you know they belong together
Be cautios with severity ERROR and WARNING because they will write output to the host that is interpreted by the caller as returned values.
This causes e.g. PeopleStage to interrupt the process and it then gets no valid return, which is also fine in case of problems.
