function Get-DbaTraceFile { <# .SYNOPSIS Gets a list of trace file(s) from specied SQL Server Instance .DESCRIPTION This function returns a list of Trace Files on a SQL Server Instance and identify the default Trace File .PARAMETER SqlInstance A SQL Server instance to connect to .PARAMETER SqlCredential A credeial to use to conect to the SQL Instance rather than using Windows Authentication .PARAMETER Default Switch that will only return the information for the default system trace .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .NOTES Tags: Security, Trace Author: Garry Bargsley (@gbargsley), http://blog.garrybargsley.com Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: GNU GPL v3 https://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0 .EXAMPLE Get-DbaTraceFile -SqlInstance sql2016 Lists all the tracefiles on the sql2016 SQL Server. .EXAMPLE Get-DbaTraceFile -SqlInstance sql2016 -Default Lists the default trace information on the sql2016 SQL Server. #> [CmdletBinding()] Param ( [parameter(Position = 0, Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [switch]$Default, [switch][Alias('Silent')]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential -MinimumVersion 9 } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failure" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue return } $sql = "SELECT id, status, path, max_size, stop_time, max_files, is_rowset, is_rollover, is_shutdown, is_default, buffer_count, buffer_size, file_position, reader_spid, start_time, last_event_time, event_count, dropped_event_count FROM sys.traces" try { $results = $server.Query($sql) } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Issue collecting trace data on $server" -Target $server -ErrorRecord $_ } if ($Default) { $results = $results | Where-Object { $_.is_default } } } foreach ($row in $results) { [PSCustomObject]@{ ComputerName = $server.NetName InstanceName = $server.ServiceName SqlInstance = $server.DomainInstanceName Id = $row.id Status = $row.status Path = $row.path MaxSize = $row.max_size StopTime = $row.stop_time MaxFiles = $row.max_files IsRowset = $row.is_rowset IsRollover = $row.is_rollover IsShutdown = $row.is_shutdown IsDefault = $row.is_default BufferCount = $row.buffer_count BufferSize = $row.buffer_size FilePosition = $row.file_position ReaderSpid = $row.reader_spid StartTime = $row.start_time LastEventTime = $row.last_event_time EventCount = $row.event_count DroppedEventCount = $row.dropped_event_count } } } } |
