NAME Add-DbaPfDataCollectorCounter
SYNOPSIS
Adds a Performance Data Collector Counter.
SYNTAX
Add-DbaPfDataCollectorCounter [[-ComputerName] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]
[[-Credential] <Pscredential>] [[-CollectorSet] <System.String[]>] [[-Collector] <System.String[]>] [-Counter]
<System.Object[]> [[-InputObject] <System.Object[]>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
Adds a Performance Data Collector Counter.
PARAMETERS
-Collector [<System.String[]>]
The Collector name.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-CollectorSet [<System.String[]>]
The Collector Set name.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ComputerName [<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]
The target computer. Defaults to localhost.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Counter [<System.Object[]>]
The Counter name. This must be in the form of '\\Processor(_Total)\\% Processor Time'.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Credential [<Pscredential>]
Allows you to login to $ComputerName using alternative credentials. To use:
$cred = Get-Credential, then pass $cred object to the -Credential parameter.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-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
-InputObject [<System.Object[]>]
Accepts the object output by Get-DbaPfDataCollector via the pipeline.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see

Correlation collector set on sql2017.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------
PS C:\\>Get-DbaPfDataCollector | Out-GridView -PassThru | Add-DbaPfDataCollectorCounter -Counter
'\\LogicalDisk(*)\\Avg. Disk Queue Length' -Confirm
Allows you to select which Data Collector you'd like to add the counter '\\LogicalDisk(*)\\Avg. Disk Queue Length'
on localhost and prompts for confirmation.
