function Export-DbaXECsv { <# .SYNOPSIS Exports Extended Events to a CSV file. .DESCRIPTION Exports Extended Events to a CSV file. .PARAMETER Path Specifies the directory where the file or files will be exported. .PARAMETER FilePath Specifies the full file path of the output file. .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. .PARAMETER InputObject Allows Piping .NOTES Tags: ExtendedEvent, XE, XEvent Author: Gianluca Sartori (@spaghettidba) Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (c) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Export-DbaXECsv .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-ChildItem -Path C:\temp\sample.xel | Export-DbaXECsv -Path c:\temp\sample.csv Writes Extended Events data to the file "C:\temp\events.csv". .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaXESession -SqlInstance sql2014 -Session deadlocks | Export-DbaXECsv -Path c:\temp\events.csv Writes Extended Events data to the file "C:\temp\events.csv". #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [Alias('FullName')] [object[]]$InputObject, [string]$Path = (Get-DbatoolsConfigValue -FullName 'Path.DbatoolsExport'), [Alias("OutFile", "FileName")] [string]$FilePath, [switch]$EnableException ) begin { $null = Test-ExportDirectory -Path $Path try { Add-Type -Path "$script:PSModuleRoot\bin\libraries\third-party\XESmartTarget\XESmartTarget.Core.dll" -ErrorAction Stop } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Could not load XESmartTarget.Core.dll" -ErrorRecord $_ -Target "XESmartTarget" return } function Get-FileFromXE ($InputObject) { if ($InputObject.TargetFile) { if ($InputObject.TargetFile.Length -eq 0) { Stop-Function -Message "This session does not have an associated Target File." return } $instance = [dbainstance]$InputObject.ComputerName if ($instance.IsLocalHost) { $xelpath = $InputObject.TargetFile } else { $xelpath = $InputObject.RemoteTargetFile } #this is funny, TargetFile usually is more a path than a real file #Even if the filename property is set to a fixed filepath with a xel #extension, the produced files have something appended to it to make #sure max_file_size and max_rollover_files are respected. #so, even if file ends with .xel, we need to pick up <filename>*.xel if (-not($xelpath.EndsWith(".xel"))) { $xelpath = "$xelpath*.xel" } else { $xelpath = "$($xelpath.Substring(0, $xelpath.Length-4))*.xel" } try { Get-ChildItem -Path $xelpath -ErrorAction Stop } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failure" -ErrorRecord $_ } } } } process { if (Test-FunctionInterrupt) { return } $getfiles = Get-FileFromXE $InputObject if ($getfiles) { $InputObject += $getfiles } foreach ($file in $InputObject) { if ($file -is [System.String]) { $currentfile = $file } elseif ($file -is [System.IO.FileInfo]) { $currentfile = $file.FullName } elseif ($file -is [Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.XEvent.Session]) { # it was taken care of above continue } else { Stop-Function -Message "Unsupported file type." return } $accessible = Test-Path -Path $currentfile $whoami = whoami if (-not $accessible) { if ($file.Status -eq "Stopped") { continue } Stop-Function -Continue -Message "$currentfile cannot be accessed from $($env:COMPUTERNAME).
