NAME Remove-DbaPfDataCollectorCounter
SYNOPSIS
Removes a Performance Data Collector Counter.
SYNTAX
Remove-DbaPfDataCollectorCounter [[-ComputerName] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]
[[-Credential] <Pscredential>] [[-CollectorSet] <System.String[]>] [[-Collector] <System.String[]>] [-Counter]
<System.Object[]> [[-InputObject] <System.Object[]>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
Removes a Performance Data Collector Counter.
PARAMETERS
-Collector [<System.String[]>]
The name of the Collector to remove.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-CollectorSet [<System.String[]>]
The name of the Collector Set to search.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-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
-Counter [<System.Object[]>]
The name of the Counter - in the form of '\\Processor(_Total)\\% Processor Time'.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Credential [<Pscredential>]
Allows you to login to the target computer using alternative credentials. To use:
$cred = Get-Credential, then pass $cred 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
-InputObject [<System.Object[]>]
Accepts the object output by Get-DbaPfDataCollectorSet via the pipeline.
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

-------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------
PS C:\\>Remove-DbaPfDataCollectorCounter -ComputerName sql2017 -CollectorSet 'System Correlation' -Collector
DataCollector01 -Counter '\\LogicalDisk(*)\\Avg. Disk Queue Length'
Prompts for confirmation then removes the '\\LogicalDisk(*)\\Avg. Disk Queue Length' counter within the
DataCollector01 collector within the System Correlation collector set on sql2017.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------
PS C:\\>Get-DbaPfDataCollectorCounter | Out-GridView -PassThru | Remove-DbaPfDataCollectorCounter -Confirm:$false
Allows you to select which counters you'd like on localhost and does not prompt for confirmation.
