function Get-DbaDump { <# .SYNOPSIS Locate a SQL Server that has generated any memory dump files. .DESCRIPTION The type of dump included in the search include minidump, all-thread dump, or a full dump. The files have an extendion of .mdmp. .PARAMETER SqlInstance SQL Server name or SMO object representing the SQL Server to connect to. This can be a collection and receive pipeline input to allow the function to be executed against multiple SQL Server instances. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins instead of Windows Authentication (AKA Integrated or Trusted). To use: $scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -SqlCredential parameter. Windows Authentication will be used if SqlCredential is not specified. SQL Server does not accept Windows credentials being passed as credentials. To connect as a different Windows user, run PowerShell as that user. .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: Engine, Corruption Author: Garry Bargsley (@gbargsley), http://blog.garrybargsley.com Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Get-DbaDump .EXAMPLE Get-DbaDump -SqlInstance sql2016 Shows the detailed information for memory dump(s) located on sql2016 instance .EXAMPLE Get-DbaDump -SqlInstance sql2016 -SqlCredential (Get-Credential sqladmin) Shows the detailed information for memory dump(s) located on sql2016 instance.
