function Start-DbaTrace { <# .SYNOPSIS Starts SQL Server traces .DESCRIPTION Starts SQL Server traces .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instance .PARAMETER SqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential) .PARAMETER Id A list of trace ids .PARAMETER InputObject Internal parameter for piping .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: Security, Trace Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .EXAMPLE Start-DbaTrace -SqlInstance sql2008 Starts all traces on sql2008 .EXAMPLE Start-DbaTrace -SqlInstance sql2008 -Id 1 Starts all trace with ID 1 on sql2008 .EXAMPLE Get-DbaTrace -SqlInstance sql2008 | Out-GridView -PassThru | Start-DbaTrace Starts selected traces on sql2008 #> [CmdletBinding()] Param ( [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [int[]]$Id, [parameter(ValueFromPipeline)] [object[]]$InputObject, [switch]$EnableException ) process { if (-not $InputObject -and $SqlInstance) { $InputObject = Get-DbaTrace -SqlInstance $SqlInstance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential -Id $Id } foreach ($trace in $InputObject) { if (-not $trace.id -and -not $trace.Parent) { Stop-Function -Message "Input is of the wrong type.
