Is there a verbose setting that allows all file deletes/creates to be logged on a deployment. For example you are deploying a website to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\XXX and select the Purge option.
Can you get a log of the files deleted?
Can you get a log of the files transferred to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\XXX?
Hi Chris,
Thanks for getting in touch.
Files deleted - You cannot get a log of them when using the Purge option. What you can do though is add a pre-deploy script to your deployment process that deletes the files with the verbose switch. The script should look like this:
remove-item $OctopusParameters['Octopus.Action[DeployStepName(change this value)].Package.CustomInstallationDirectory'] -verbose -recurse
Please remember to change the step name on the Octopus variable accordingly. Also remember to switch off the purge checkbox, just in case.
Files transfered - Again, you cannot get this by default, but you could list the directory files on the custom installation dir after the deployment with the following script on the post-deploy field:
remove-item $OctopusParameters['Octopus.Action[DeployStepName(change this value)] -verbose -recurse
Hope it helps!

Thanks. Should be sufficient.
But, I didn’t understand the last post-deploy script you listed…
So I went with this in the post-deploy:
Get-ChildItem $OctopusParameters['Octopus.Action[DeployStepName(change this value)].Package.CustomInstallationDirectory'] -recurse | Sort-Object lastwritetime -descending
