NAME Get-DbaPfAvailableCounter
SYNOPSIS
Gathers list of all available counters on local or remote machines.
SYNTAX
Get-DbaPfAvailableCounter [[-ComputerName] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]
[[-Credential] <Pscredential>] [[-Pattern] <String>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
Gathers list of all available counters on local or remote machines. Note, if you pass a credential object, it will
be included in the output for easy reuse in your next piped command.
Thanks to Daniel Streefkerk for this super fast way of counters

PARAMETERS
-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
-Credential [<Pscredential>]
Allows you to login to servers using alternative credentials. To use:
$scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred 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
-Pattern [<String>]
Specify a pattern for filtering.
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
