#ValidationTags#Messaging,FlowControl,Pipeline,CodeStyle# function Get-DbaXEStore { <# .SYNOPSIS Get a Extended Events store .DESCRIPTION Get a Extended Events store .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 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) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Get-DbaXEStore .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaXEStore -SqlInstance ServerA\sql987 Returns an XEvent Store. #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [switch]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { try { Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Connecting to $instance." $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential -MinimumVersion 11 } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failure" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } $SqlConn = $server.ConnectionContext.SqlConnectionObject $SqlStoreConnection = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc.SqlStoreConnection $SqlConn $store = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.XEvent.XEStore $SqlStoreConnection Add-Member -Force -InputObject $store -MemberType NoteProperty -Name ComputerName -Value $server.ComputerName Add-Member -Force -InputObject $store -MemberType NoteProperty -Name InstanceName -Value $server.ServiceName Add-Member -Force -InputObject $store -MemberType NoteProperty -Name SqlInstance -Value $server.DomainInstanceName Select-DefaultView -InputObject $store -Property ComputerName, InstanceName, SqlInstance, ServerName, Sessions, Packages, RunningSessionCount } } } |
