NAME Add-DbaDbMirrorMonitor



SYNOPSIS

Creates a database mirroring monitor job that periodically updates the mirroring status for every mirrored

database on the server instance.





SYNTAX

Add-DbaDbMirrorMonitor [-SqlInstance] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>

[[-SqlCredential] <Pscredential>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

Creates a database mirroring monitor job that periodically updates the mirroring status for every mirrored

database on the server instance.



Basically executes sp_dbmmonitoraddmonitoring.





PARAMETERS

-EnableException [<Switch>]

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.
