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.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-SqlCredential [<Pscredential>]
Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).
Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory -
Integrated are all supported.
For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.
