function Get-DbaPfAvailableCounter { <# .SYNOPSIS Gathers list of all available counters on local or remote machines .DESCRIPTION Gathers list of all available counters on local or remote machines. Note, if you pass a credential object, it will be included in the output for easy reuse in your next piped command. Thanks to Daniel Streefkerk for this super fast way of counters https://daniel.streefkerkonline.com/2016/02/18/use-powershell-to-list-all-windows-performance-counters-and-their-numeric-ids .PARAMETER ComputerName The target computer. Defaults to localhost. .PARAMETER Credential Allows you to login to $ComputerName using alternative credentials. .PARAMETER Pattern Specify a pattern for filtering .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .NOTES Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: GNU GPL v3 https://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0 .LINK https://dbatools.io/Get-DbaPfAvailableCounter .EXAMPLE Get-DbaPfAvailableCounter Gets all available counters on the local machine .EXAMPLE Get-DbaPfAvailableCounter -Pattern *sql* Gets all counters matching sql on the local machine .EXAMPLE Get-DbaPfAvailableCounter -ComputerName sql2017 -Pattern *sql* Gets all counters matching sql on the remote server sql2017 .EXAMPLE Get-DbaPfAvailableCounter -Pattern *sql* Gets all counters matching sql on the local machine .EXAMPLE Get-DbaPfAvailableCounter -Pattern *sql* | Add-DbaPfDataCollectorCounter -CollectorSet 'Test Collector Set' -Collector DataCollector01 Adds all counters matching "sql" to the DataCollector01 within the Test Collector Set collector set #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [DbaInstance[]]$ComputerName = $env:ComputerName, [PSCredential]$Credential, [string]$Pattern, [switch]$EnableException ) begin { $scriptblock = { $counters = Get-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib\009' -Name 'counter' | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Counter | Where-Object { $_ -notmatch '[0-90000]' } | Sort-Object | Get-Unique foreach ($counter in $counters) { [pscustomobject]@{ ComputerName = $env:COMPUTERNAME Name = $counter Credential = $args } } } # In case ppl really wanted a like, which is slower $Pattern = $Pattern.Replace("*", ".*").Replace("..*", ".*") } process { foreach ($computer in $ComputerName) { Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Connecting to $computer using Invoke-Command" try { if ($pattern) { Invoke-Command2 -ComputerName $computer -Credential $Credential -ScriptBlock $scriptblock -ArgumentList $credential -ErrorAction Stop -Raw | Where-Object Name -match $pattern | Select-DefaultView -ExcludeProperty Credential } else { Invoke-Command2 -ComputerName $computer -Credential $Credential -ScriptBlock $scriptblock -ArgumentList $credential -ErrorAction Stop -Raw | Select-DefaultView -ExcludeProperty Credential } } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failure" -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $computer -Continue } } } } |
