function Get-DbaErrorLogConfig { <# .SYNOPSIS Pulls the configuration for the ErrorLog on a given SQL Server instance .DESCRIPTION Pulls the configuration for the ErrorLog on a given SQL Server instance. Includes error log path, number of log files configured and size (SQL Server 2012+ only) .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instance or instances .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: Instance, ErrorLog Author: Shawn Melton (@wsmelton), https://wsmelton.github.io Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (c) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Get-DbaErrorLogConfig .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaErrorLogConfig -SqlInstance server2017,server2014 Returns error log configuration for server2017 and server2014 #> [cmdletbinding()] param ( [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline, Mandatory)] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [switch]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Error occurred while establishing connection to $instance" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } $numLogs = $server.NumberOfLogFiles $logSize = if ($server.VersionMajor -ge 11) { [dbasize]($server.ErrorLogSizeKb * 1024) } else { $null } [PSCustomObject]@{ ComputerName = $server.ComputerName InstanceName = $server.ServiceName SqlInstance = $server.DomainInstanceName LogCount = $numLogs LogSize = $logSize LogPath = $server.ErrorLogPath } } } } |
