NAME Export-DbaXECsv
SYNOPSIS
Exports Extended Events to a CSV file.
SYNTAX
Export-DbaXECsv [-InputObject] <System.Object[]> [[-Path] <String>] [[-FilePath] <String>] [-EnableException
<Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
Exports Extended Events to a CSV file.
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.
