Below are some of the general configurations you can use for the New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment to get the most amount of logging from the command. You may lookup the equivalent AZ cmdlet, if you need to.

You can use the -Verbose and -DeploymentDebugLogLevel All parameters to get some more logging info. Note that the Deployment debug parameter will cause a warning to show up in your console output stream.

You can use the -ErrorVariable ErrorMessages parameter to get the error messages and then use them appropriately in your script.

Lastly, you can use the JSON output of the cmdlet to get some insights, if any.

Below is how the cmldet typically looks like for me..

$jsonOutput = New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment -Name  $DeploymentName `
        -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName `
        -TemplateFile $TemplateFileToDeploy `
        -TemplateParameterObject $TemplateParameters `
        -Force -Verbose `
        -ErrorVariable ErrorMessages -DeploymentDebugLogLevel All

closest you can get is launch new-azresourcegroupdeployment with the -verbose switch, that would give you some idea whats going on, but I dont really think you are interested in that, you are mostly interested in errors. Fairly certain new-azresourcegroupdeployment outputs those.
