Tags Overview

The tests that ship with Maester say what they are about with typed attributes, not tags. Select them with -Product, -Feature, -Area, -Severity and -Suite on Invoke-Maester, or with -TestId:

To selectMaester 2.xNow
A suite-Tag CISA-Suite cisa
A product-Tag Entra-Product entra
A topic-Tag CA-Feature conditional-access or -Area authentication
A severity-Tag Severity:High-Severity High
One test-Tag MT.1001-TestId MT.1001

Tags from Maester 2.x​

Every tag of Maester 2.x still works with -Tag and -ExcludeTag: it selects the built-in tests that carried it in 2.x, and Maester writes a warning that names the typed selector where there is one. A built-in test's own ID is a tag too. Tests added after Maester 3.0 do not carry these tags; select them by their attributes or their ID.

Tags in your own tests​

Tag in the [MaesterTest] attribute remains for labels the owner of a test folder finds useful, and -Tag and -ExcludeTag match them. A suite.json can add tags to every test in its folder.

Tags Used​

The tables below list every Maester 2.x tag, and every tag written in a built-in test, with examples of the tests it selects.
