#ValidationTags#CodeStyle,Messaging,FlowControl,Pipeline# function Test-DbaDbVirtualLogFile { <# .SYNOPSIS Returns calculations on the database virtual log files for database on a SQL instance. .DESCRIPTION Having a transaction log file with too many virtual log files (VLFs) can hurt database performance. Too many VLFs can cause transaction log backups to slow down and can also slow down database recovery and, in extreme cases, even affect insert/update/delete performance. References: http://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/kimberly/transaction-log-vlfs-too-many-or-too-few/ http://blogs.msdn.com/b/saponsqlserver/archive/2012/02/22/too-many-virtual-log-files-vlfs-can-cause-slow-database-recovery.aspx If you've got a high number of VLFs, you can use Expand-SqlTLogResponsibly to reduce the number. .PARAMETER SqlInstance Specifies the SQL Server instance(s) to scan. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential) .PARAMETER Database Specifies the database(s) to process. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all databases will be processed. .PARAMETER ExcludeDatabase Specifies the database(s) to exclude from processing. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server. .PARAMETER IncludeSystemDBs If this switch is enabled, system database information will be displayed. .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: VLF, Database Author: Chrissy LeMaire (@cl), netnerds.net Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (c) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Test-DbaDbVirtualLogFile .EXAMPLE Test-DbaDbVirtualLogFile -SqlInstance sqlcluster Returns all user database virtual log file counts for the sqlcluster instance. .EXAMPLE Test-DbaDbVirtualLogFile -SqlInstance sqlserver | Where-Object {$_.Count -ge 50} Returns user databases that have 50 or more VLFs. .EXAMPLE @('sqlserver','sqlcluster') | Test-DbaDbVirtualLogFile Returns all VLF information for the sqlserver and sqlcluster SQL Server instances.
