function Get-DbaXEObject { <# .SYNOPSIS Gets a list of trace(s) from specified SQL Server instance(s). .DESCRIPTION This function returns a list of Traces on the specified SQL Server instance(s) and identifies the default Trace File .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 Type Used to specify the type. Valid types include: Action Event Map Message PredicateComparator PredicateSource Target Type .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 .EXAMPLE Get-DbaXEObject -SqlInstance sql2016 Lists all the XE Objects on the sql2016 SQL Server. .EXAMPLE Get-DbaXEObject -SqlInstance sql2017 -Type Action, Event Lists all the XE Objects of type Action and Event on the sql2017 SQL Server. #> [CmdletBinding()] Param ( [parameter(Position = 0, Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [ValidateSet("Type", "Event", "Target", "Action", "Map", "Message", "PredicateComparator", "PredicateSource")] [string[]]$Type, [switch]$EnableException ) begin { if ($Type) { $join = $Type -join "','" $where = "AND o.object_type in ('$join')" $where.Replace("PredicateComparator", "pred_compare") $where.Replace("PredicateSource", "pred_source") } $sql = "SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('MachineName') AS ComputerName, ISNULL(SERVERPROPERTY('InstanceName'), 'MSSQLSERVER') AS InstanceName, SERVERPROPERTY('ServerName') AS SqlInstance, p.name AS PackageName, ObjectType = CASE o.object_type WHEN 'type' THEN 'Type' WHEN 'event' THEN 'Event' WHEN 'target' THEN 'Target' WHEN 'pred_compare' THEN 'PredicateComparator' WHEN 'pred_source' THEN 'PredicateSource' WHEN 'action' THEN 'Action' WHEN 'map' THEN 'Map' WHEN 'message' THEN 'Message' ELSE o.object_type END, o.object_type as ObjectTypeRaw, o.name AS TargetName, o.description as Description FROM sys.dm_xe_packages AS p JOIN sys.dm_xe_objects AS o ON p.guid = o.package_guid WHERE (p.capabilities IS NULL OR p.capabilities & 1 = 0) $where AND (o.capabilities IS NULL OR o.capabilities & 1 = 0) ORDER BY o.object_type " } process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential -MinimumVersion 9 } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failure" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue return } try { $server.Query($sql) | Select-DefaultView -ExcludeProperty ComputerName, InstanceName, ObjectTypeRaw } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Issue collecting trace data on $server." -Target $server -ErrorRecord $_ } } } } |
