NAME Get-DbaMemoryCondition
SYNOPSIS
Determine the memory conditions from SQL Server ring buffers.
SYNTAX
Get-DbaMemoryCondition [-SqlInstance] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>
[[-SqlCredential] <Pscredential>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The information from SQL Server ring buffers can be used to determine the memory conditions on the server when
paging occurs.
This command is based on a query provided by Microsoft support.
Reference KB article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/hel ... -memory-in
-the-64-bit-version-of-sq
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.

-SqlCredential [<Pscredential>]
