function ConvertTo-DbaXESession { <# .SYNOPSIS Uses a slightly modified version of sp_SQLskills_ConvertTraceToExtendedEvents.sql to convert Traces to Extended Events. .DESCRIPTION Uses a slightly modified version of sp_SQLskills_ConvertTraceToExtendedEvents.sql to convert Traces to Extended Events. T-SQL code by: Jonathan M. Kehayias, SQLskills.com. T-SQL can be found in this module directory and at https://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/jonathan/converting-sql-trace-to-extended-events-in-sql-server-2012/ .PARAMETER InputObject Specifies a Trace object output by Get-DbaTrace. .PARAMETER Name The name of the Trace to convert. If the name exists, characters will be appended to it. .PARAMETER OutputScriptOnly Outputs the T-SQL script to create the XE session and does not execute it. .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: Trace, ExtendedEvent Author: Chrissy LeMaire (@cl), netnerds.net Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .EXAMPLE Get-DbaTrace -SqlInstance sql2017, sql2012 | Where Id -eq 2 | ConvertTo-DbaXESession -Name 'Test' Converts Trace with ID 2 to a Session named Test on SQL Server instances named sql2017 and sql2012 and creates the Session on each respective server. .EXAMPLE Get-DbaTrace -SqlInstance sql2014 | Out-GridView -PassThru | ConvertTo-DbaXESession -Name 'Test' | Start-DbaXESession Converts selected traces on sql2014 to sessions, creates the session, and starts it. .EXAMPLE Get-DbaTrace -SqlInstance sql2014 | Where Id -eq 1 | ConvertTo-DbaXESession -Name 'Test' -OutputScriptOnly Converts trace ID 1 on sql2014 to an Extended Event and outputs the resulting T-SQL. #> [CmdletBinding()] Param ( [parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [object[]]$InputObject, [parameter(Mandatory)] [string]$Name, [switch]$OutputScriptOnly, [switch]$EnableException ) begin { $rawsql = Get-Content "$script:PSModuleRoot\bin\sp_SQLskills_ConvertTraceToEEs.sql" -Raw } process { foreach ($trace in $InputObject) { if (-not $trace.id -and -not $trace.Parent) { Stop-Function -Message "Input is of the wrong type.
