SEQ: structured logging not implemented

[gahujipo]

I'd really like to use SEQ as logging target. It fails for every Write-Log command, because there is a problem in serializing the JSON, which I already fixed here: acsdatasystems@c0980fa but haven't merged yet.

With these changes, logs are coming to the SEQ server. But it seems, that there isn't implemented any structured logging. How can I get the original log message?
E.g.

Write-Log -Message "Hello {0}!" -Arguments "PowerShell"

in that case I would need Hello {0}! instead of Hello PowerShell!. I would need that, because I have to send a JSON to the server where the message cannot contain the value, but only a key and the value for that key somewhere else.

{
    "Events": [
        {
            "MessageTemplate": "Hello {Who}!",
            "Timestamp": "2020-05-29T16:46:09.3034428+02:00",
            "Level": null,
            "Properties": {
                "Who": "World"
            }
        }
    ]
}

The passed $Log variable doesn't seem to contain such a message template. Is there another way to get the original template?

Right now we cannot implement strucuterd logging (although I'd like it) cause the form Write-Log -Message 'Hello, {0}!' -Arguments 'Powershell' uses powershell string formatting and doesn't work on named parameters (the {Who}).

We need to write our custom string formatting to propagate the raw string down to the logging target.

@EsOsO How is the current status, I could add the feature next week.

Please go on, I didn't write anything yet.

Hey @tosoikea,
have you been able to implement this?
