function Export-DbaPfDataCollectorSetTemplate { <# .SYNOPSIS Exports a new Data Collector Set XML Template. .DESCRIPTION Exports a Data Collector Set XML Template from Get-DbaPfDataCollectorSet. Exports to "$home\Documents\Performance Monitor Templates" by default. .PARAMETER ComputerName The target computer. Defaults to localhost. .PARAMETER Credential Allows you to login to $ComputerName using alternative credentials. To use: $cred = Get-Credential, then pass $cred object to the -Credential parameter. .PARAMETER CollectorSet The name of the collector set(s) to export. .PARAMETER Path The path to export the file. Can be .xml or directory. .PARAMETER InputObject Accepts the object output by Get-DbaPfDataCollectorSetTemplate via the pipeline. .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .NOTES Tags: Performance, DataCollector Author: Chrissy LeMaire (@cl), netnerds.net Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Export-DbaPfDataCollectorSetTemplate .EXAMPLE Export-DbaPfDataCollectorSetTemplate -ComputerName sql2017 -Path C:\temp\pf Exports all data collector sets from to the C:\temp\pf folder. .EXAMPLE Get-DbaPfDataCollectorSet ComputerName sql2017 -CollectorSet 'System Correlation' | Export-DbaPfDataCollectorSetTemplate -Path C:\temp Exports the 'System Correlation' data collector set from sql2017 to C:\temp. #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [DbaInstance[]]$ComputerName = $env:COMPUTERNAME, [PSCredential]$Credential, [Alias("DataCollectorSet")] [string[]]$CollectorSet, [string]$Path = "$home\Documents\Performance Monitor Templates", [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline)] [object[]]$InputObject, [switch]$EnableException ) process { if ($InputObject.Credential -and (Test-Bound -ParameterName Credential -Not)) { $Credential = $InputObject.Credential } if (-not $InputObject -or ($InputObject -and (Test-Bound -ParameterName ComputerName))) { foreach ($computer in $ComputerName) { $InputObject += Get-DbaPfDataCollectorSet -ComputerName $computer -Credential $Credential -CollectorSet $CollectorSet } } foreach ($object in $InputObject) { if (-not $object.DataCollectorSetObject) { Stop-Function -Message "InputObject is not of the right type.
