function Start-DbaPfDataCollectorSet { <# .SYNOPSIS Starts Performance Monitor Data Collector Set .DESCRIPTION Starts Performance Monitor Data Collector Set .PARAMETER ComputerName The target computer. Defaults to localhost. .PARAMETER Credential Allows you to login to $ComputerName using alternative credentials. .PARAMETER CollectorSet The Collector Set name .PARAMETER NoWait Start the collector and immediately return the results .PARAMETER InputObject Enables piped results from Get-DbaPfDataCollectorSet .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .NOTES Tags: PerfMon Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: GNU GPL v3 https://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0 .LINK https://dbatools.io/Start-DbaPfDataCollectorSet .EXAMPLE Start-DbaPfDataCollectorSet Attempts to start all ready Collectors on localhost .EXAMPLE Start-DbaPfDataCollectorSet -ComputerName sql2017 Attempts to start all ready Collectors on localhost .EXAMPLE Start-DbaPfDataCollectorSet -ComputerName sql2017, sql2016 -Credential (Get-Credential) -CollectorSet 'System Correlation' Starts the 'System Correlation' Collector on sql2017 and sql2016 using alternative credentials .EXAMPLE Get-DbaPfDataCollectorSet -CollectorSet 'System Correlation' | Start-DbaPfDataCollectorSet Starts 'System Correlation' Collector #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [DbaInstance[]]$ComputerName=$env:COMPUTERNAME, [PSCredential]$Credential, [Alias("DataCollectorSet")] [string[]]$CollectorSet, [parameter(ValueFromPipeline)] [object[]]$InputObject, [switch]$NoWait, [switch]$EnableException ) begin { $wait = $NoWait -eq $false $setscript = { $setname = $args[0]; $wait = $args[1] $collectorset = New-Object -ComObject Pla.DataCollectorSet $collectorset.Query($setname, $null) $null = $collectorset.Start($wait) } } process { if (-not $InputObject -or ($InputObject -and (Test-Bound -ParameterName ComputerName))) { foreach ($computer in $ComputerName) { $InputObject += Get-DbaPfDataCollectorSet -ComputerName $computer -Credential $Credential -CollectorSet $CollectorSet } } if ($InputObject) { if (-not $InputObject.DataCollectorSetObject) { Stop-Function -Message "InputObject is not of the right type.
