function Export-DbaXECsv { <# .SYNOPSIS Exports Extended Events to a CSV file .DESCRIPTION Exports Extended Events to a CSV file .PARAMETER Path Specifies the InputObject to the output CSV file .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. .PARAMETER InputObject Allows Piping .NOTES Author: Gianluca Sartori (@spaghettidba) Tags: ExtendedEvent, XE, Xevent Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: GNU GPL v3 https://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0 SmartTarget: by Gianluca Sartori (@spaghettidba) .LINK https://dbatools.io/Export-DbaXECsv .EXAMPLE Get-ChildItem -Path C:\temp\sample.xel | Export-DbaXECsv -Path c:\temp\sample.csv Writes Extended Events data to the file "C:\temp\events.csv" .EXAMPLE Get-DbaXESession -SqlInstance sql2014 -Session deadlocks | Export-DbaXECsv -Path c:\temp\events.csv Writes Extended Events data to the file "C:\temp\events.csv" #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [Alias('FullName')] [object[]]$InputObject, [parameter(Mandatory)] [string]$Path, [switch]$EnableException ) begin { try { Add-Type -Path "$script:PSModuleRoot\bin\XESmartTarget\XESmartTarget.Core.dll" -ErrorAction Stop } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Could not load XESmartTarget.Core.dll" -ErrorRecord $_ -Target "XESmartTarget" return } function Get-FileFromXE ($InputObject) { if ($InputObject.TargetFile) { if ($InputObject.TargetFile.Length -eq 0) { Stop-Function -Message "This session does not have an associated Target File." return } $instance = [dbainstance]$InputObject.ComputerName if ($instance.IsLocalHost) { $xelpath = $InputObject.TargetFile } else { $xelpath = $InputObject.RemoteTargetFile } if ($xelpath -notmatch ".xel") { $xelpath = "$xelpath*.xel" } try { Get-ChildItem -Path $xelpath -ErrorAction Stop } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failure" -ErrorRecord $_ } } } } process { if (Test-FunctionInterrupt) { return } $getfiles = Get-FileFromXE $InputObject if ($getfiles) { $InputObject += $getfiles } foreach ($file in $InputObject) { if ($file -is [System.String]) { $currentfile = $file } elseif ($file -is [System.IO.FileInfo]) { $currentfile = $file.FullName } elseif ($file -is [Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.XEvent.Session]) { # it was taken care of above continue } else { Stop-Function -Message "Unsupported file type." return } $accessible = Test-Path -Path $currentfile $whoami = whoami if (-not $accessible) { if ($file.Status -eq "Stopped") { continue } Stop-Function -Continue -Message "$currentfile cannot be accessed from $($env:COMPUTERNAME).
