NAME Get-DbaErrorLogConfig
SYNOPSIS
Pulls the configuration for the ErrorLog on a given SQL Server instance
SYNTAX
Get-DbaErrorLogConfig [-SqlInstance] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>
[[-SqlCredential] <Pscredential>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
Pulls the configuration for the ErrorLog on a given SQL Server instance.
Includes error log path, number of log files configured and size (SQL Server 2012+ only)
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).

Integrated are all supported.
For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.
