        .PARAMETER SqlInstance
            The SQL Server instance. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2000 or higher.
 
        .PARAMETER Database
            The database where sp_WhoIsActive is installed. Defaults to master. If the sp_WhoIsActive is not installed, the command will warn and exit.
 
        .PARAMETER Filter
            FiltersBoth inclusive and exclusive
            Set either filter to '' to disable
            Session is a session ID, and either 0 or '' can be used to indicate "all" sessions
            All other filter types support % or _ as wildcards
 
        .PARAMETER FilterType
            Valid filter types are: session, program, database, login, and host
 
        .PARAMETER NotFilter
            FiltersBoth inclusive and exclusive
            Set either filter to '' to disable
            Session is a session ID, and either 0 or '' can be used to indicate "all" sessions
            All other filter types support % or _ as wildcards
 
        .PARAMETER NotFilterType
            Valid filter types are: session, program, database, login, and host
 
        .PARAMETER ShowOwnSpid
            Retrieve data about the calling session?
 
        .PARAMETER ShowSystemSpids
            Retrieve data about system sessions?
 
        .PARAMETER ShowSleepingSpids
            Controls how sleeping SPIDs are handled, based on the idea of levels of interest
            0 does not pull any sleeping SPIDs
            1 pulls only those sleeping SPIDs that also have an open transaction
            2 pulls all sleeping SPIDs
 
        .PARAMETER GetFullInnerText
            If 1, gets the full stored procedure or running batch, when available
            If 0, gets only the actual statement that is currently running in the batch or procedure
 
        .PARAMETER GetPlans
            Get associated query plans for running tasks, if available
            If 1, gets the plan based on the request's statement offset
            If 2, gets the entire plan based on the request's plan_handle
 
        .PARAMETER GetOuterCommand
            Get the associated outer ad hoc query or stored procedure call, if available
 
        .PARAMETER GetTransactionInfo
            Enables pulling transaction log write info and transaction duration
 
        .PARAMETER GetTaskInfo
            Get information on active tasks, based on three interest levels
            Level 0 does not pull any task-related information
            Level 1 is a lightweight mode that pulls the top non-CXPACKET wait, giving preference to blockers
            Level 2 pulls all available task-based metrics, including:
            number of active tasks, current wait stats, physical I/O, context switches, and blocker information
 
        .PARAMETER GetLocks
            Gets associated locks for each request, aggregated in an XML format
 
        .PARAMETER GetAverageTime
            Get average time for past runs of an active query
            (based on the combination of plan handle, sql handle, and offset)
 
        .PARAMETER GetAdditonalInfo
            Get additional non-performance-related information about the session or request
            text_size, language, date_format, date_first, quoted_identifier, arithabort, ansi_null_dflt_on,
            ansi_defaults, ansi_warnings, ansi_padding, ansi_nulls, concat_null_yields_null,
            transaction_isolation_level, lock_timeout, deadlock_priority, row_count, command_type
 
            If a SQL Agent job is running, an subnode called agent_info will be populated with some or all of
            the following: job_id, job_name, step_id, step_name, msdb_query_error (in the event of an error)
 
            If @get_task_info is set to 2 and a lock wait is detected, a subnode called block_info will be
            populated with some or all of the following: lock_type, database_name, object_id, file_id, hobt_id,
            applock_hash, metadata_resource, metadata_class_id, object_name, schema_name
 
        .PARAMETER FindBlockLeaders
            Walk the blocking chain and count the number of
            total SPIDs blocked all the way down by a given session
            Also enables task_info Level 1, if @get_task_info is set to 0
 
        .PARAMETER DeltaInterval
            Pull deltas on various metrics
            Interval in seconds to wait before doing the second data pull
 
        .PARAMETER OutputColumnList
            List of desired output columns, in desired order
            Note that the final output will be the intersection of all enabled features and all
            columns in the list. Therefore, only columns associated with enabled features will
            actually appear in the output. Likewise, removing columns from this list may effectively
            disable features, even if they are turned on
 
            Each element in this list must be one of the valid output column names. Names must be
            delimited by square brackets. White space, formatting, and additional characters are
            allowed, as long as the list contains exact matches of delimited valid column names.
 
        .PARAMETER SortOrder
            Column(s) by which to sort output, optionally with sort directions.
            Valid column choices:
            session_id, physical_io, reads, physical_reads, writes, tempdb_allocations,
            tempdb_current, CPU, context_switches, used_memory, physical_io_delta,
            reads_delta, physical_reads_delta, writes_delta, tempdb_allocations_delta,
            tempdb_current_delta, CPU_delta, context_switches_delta, used_memory_delta,
            tasks, tran_start_time, open_tran_count, blocking_session_id, blocked_session_count,
            percent_complete, host_name, login_name, database_name, start_time, login_time
 
            Note that column names in the list must be bracket-delimited. Commas and/or white
            space are not required.
 
        .PARAMETER FormatOutput
            Formats some of the output columns in a more "human readable" form
            0 disables output format
            1 formats the output for variable-width fonts
            2 formats the output for fixed-width fonts
 
        .PARAMETER DestinationTable
            If set to a non-blank value, the script will attempt to insert into the specified destination table. Please note that the script will not verify that the table exists, or that it has the correct schema, before doing the insert. Table can be specified in one, two, or three-part format
 
        .PARAMETER ReturnSchema
            If set to 1, no data collection will happen and no result set will be returned; instead,
            a CREATE TABLE statement will be returned via the @schema parameter, which will match
            the schema of the result set that would be returned by using the same collection of the
            rest of the parameters. The CREATE TABLE statement will have a placeholder token of
            <table_name> in place of an actual table name.
 
        .PARAMETER Schema
            If set to 1, no data collection will happen and no result set will be returned; instead,
            a CREATE TABLE statement will be returned via the @schema parameter, which will match
            the schema of the result set that would be returned by using the same collection of the
            rest of the parameters. The CREATE TABLE statement will have a placeholder token of
            <table_name> in place of an actual table name.
 
        .PARAMETER Help
            Help! What do I do?
 
        .PARAMETER SqlCredential
            Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential)
 
        .PARAMETER WhatIf
            Shows what would happen if the command were to run. No actions are actually performed.
 
        .PARAMETER Confirm
            Prompts you for confirmation before executing any changing operations within the command.
 
        .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.

        .EXAMPLE
            Invoke-DbaWhoIsActive -SqlInstance sqlserver2014a
 
            Execute sp_whoisactive on sqlserver2014a. This command expects sp_WhoIsActive to be in the master database. Logs into the SQL Server with Windows credentials.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Invoke-DbaWhoIsActive -SqlInstance sqlserver2014a -SqlCredential $credential -Database dbatools
 
            Execute sp_whoisactive on sqlserver2014a. This command expects sp_WhoIsActive to be in the dbatools database. Logs into the SQL Server with SQL Authentication.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Invoke-DbaWhoIsActive -SqlInstance sqlserver2014a -GetAverageTime
 
            Similar to running sp_WhoIsActive @get_avg_time
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Invoke-DbaWhoIsActive -SqlInstance sqlserver2014a -GetOuterCommand -FindBlockLeaders
 
            Similar to running sp_WhoIsActive @get_outer_command = 1, @find_block_leaders = 1
