NAME New-DbaAgentAlertCategory

[[-SqlCredential] <Pscredential>] [-Category] <System.String[]> [-Force <Switch>] [-EnableException <Switch>]
[<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
New-DbaAgentAlertCategory makes it possible to create a Agent Alert category that can be used with Alerts.
It returns an array of the alert categories created .
PARAMETERS
-Category [<System.String[]>]
The name of the category
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.

Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Force [<Switch>]
The force parameter will ignore some errors in the parameters and assume defaults.
