function Get-DbaLogShippingError { <# .SYNOPSIS Get-DbaLogShippingError returns all the log shipping errors that occured .DESCRIPTION When your log shipping fails it's sometimes hard to see why is fails. Using this function you'll be able to find out what went wrong in a short amount of time. .PARAMETER SqlInstance SQL Server instance. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2000 or greater. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins as opposed to Windows Auth/Integrated/Trusted. To use: $scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -SqlCredential parameter. To connect as a different Windows user, run PowerShell as that user. .PARAMETER Database Allows you to filter the results to only return the databases you're interested in. This can be one or more values separated by commas. This is not a wildcard and should be the exact database name. See examples for more info. .PARAMETER ExcludeDatabase Allows you to filter the results to only return the databases you're not interested in. This can be one or more values separated by commas. This is not a wildcard and should be the exact database name. .PARAMETER Action Filter to get the log shipping action that has occured like Backup, Copy, Restore. By default all the actions are returned. .PARAMETER DateTimeFrom Filter the results based on the date starting from datetime X .PARAMETER DateTimeTo Filter the results based on the date ending with datetime X .PARAMETER Primary Allows to filter the results to only return values that apply to the primary instance. .PARAMETER Secondary Allows to filter the results to only return values that apply to the secondary instance. .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 Original Author: Sander Stad (@sqlstad, sqlstad.nl) Tags: LogShipping Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Get-DbaLogShippingError .EXAMPLE Get-DbaLogShippingError -SqlInstance sql1 Get all the log shipping errors that occured .EXAMPLE Get-DbaLogShippingError -SqlInstance sql1 -Action Backup Get the errors that have something to do with the backup of the databases .EXAMPLE Get-DbaLogShippingError -SqlInstance sql1 -Secondary Get the errors that occured on the secondary instance.
