function Export-DbaXESessionTemplate { <# .SYNOPSIS Exports an XESession XML Template using XE Session(s) output by Get-DbaXESession .DESCRIPTION Exports an XESession XML Template either from the Target SQL Server or XE Session(s) output by Get-DbaXESession. Exports to "$home\Documents\SQL Server Management Studio\Templates\XEventTemplates" by default .PARAMETER SqlInstance Target SQL Server. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2008 or higher. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential) .PARAMETER Session The Name of the session(s) to export. .PARAMETER Path The path to export the file into. Can be .xml or directory. .PARAMETER InputObject Specifies an XE Session output by Get-DbaXESession. .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .NOTES Tags: ExtendedEvent, XE, XEvent Author: Chrissy LeMaire (@cl), netnerds.net Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Export-DbaXESessionTemplate .EXAMPLE Export-DbaXESessionTemplate -SqlInstance sql2017 -Path C:\temp\xe Exports an XESession XML Template for all Extended Event Sessions on sql2017 to the C:\temp\xe folder. .EXAMPLE Get-DbaXESession -SqlInstance sql2017 -Session system_health | Export-DbaXESessionTemplate -Path C:\temp\xe Gets the system_health Extended Events Session from sql2017 and then exports as an XESession XML Template to C:\temp\xe #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [object[]]$Session, [string]$Path = "$home\Documents\SQL Server Management Studio\Templates\XEventTemplates", [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline)] [Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.XEvent.Session[]]$InputObject, [switch]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { try { Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Connecting to $instance." $InputObject += Get-DbaXESession -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential -Session $Session -EnableException } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failure" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } } foreach ($xes in $InputObject) { $xesname = Remove-InvalidFileNameChars -Name $xes.Name if (-not (Test-Path -Path $Path)) { Stop-Function -Message "$Path does not exist." -Target $Path } if ($path.EndsWith(".xml")) { $filename = $path } else { $filename = "$path\$xesname.xml" } Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Wrote $xesname to $filename" [Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.XEvent.XEStore]::SaveSessionToTemplate($xes, $filename, $true) Get-ChildItem -Path $filename } } } |
