Research direction
Review the existing health check scripts in the repository (e.g., Get HealthCheck.ps1) to understand the pattern for scanning. The implementation should check the applicationHost.config file for FailedRequestsTracingModule set to True, use Get TransportService to verify PipelineTracingEnabled on each server, and run 'logman ets' to detect any extra tracing sessions. Coordinate with the assignees (two developers) to align on the output format and warning level.
