function Test-DbaVirtualLogFile { <# .SYNOPSIS Returns database virtual log file information for database files on a SQL instance. .DESCRIPTION As you may already know, having a TLog file with too many VLFs can hurt database performance. Too many virtual log files can cause transaction log backups to slow down and can also slow down database recovery and, in extreme cases, even affect insert/update/delete performance.

This can be a collection and recieve pipeline input. .PARAMETER SqlCredential PSCredential object to connect under. If not specified, current Windows login will be used. .PARAMETER IncludeSystemDBs Switch parameter that when used will display system database information .PARAMETER Databases Specify one or more databases to process. .PARAMETER Exclude Specify one or more databases to exclude. .PARAMETER Detailed Returns all information provided by DBCC LOGINFO plus the server name and database name .NOTES Tags: DisasterRecovery, Backup dbatools PowerShell module (https://dbatools.io, clemaire@gmail.com) Copyright (C) 2016 Chrissy LeMaire This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
