NAME Get-DbaTraceFlag
SYNOPSIS
Get global Trace Flag(s) information for each instance(s) of SQL Server.
SYNTAX
Get-DbaTraceFlag [-SqlInstance] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]> [[-SqlCredential]
<Pscredential>] [[-TraceFlag] <System.Int32[]>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
Returns Trace Flags that are enabled globally on each instance(s) of SQL Server as an object.
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).
Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory -
Integrated are all supported.
For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-SqlInstance [<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]
The target SQL Server instance or instances. This can be a collection and receive pipeline input to allow the
function to be executed against multiple SQL Server instances.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-TraceFlag [<System.Int32[]>]
Use this switch to filter to a specific Trace Flag.
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,
