NAME Start-DbaPfDataCollectorSet
SYNOPSIS
Starts Performance Monitor Data Collector Set.
SYNTAX
Start-DbaPfDataCollectorSet [[-ComputerName] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]
[[-Credential] <Pscredential>] [[-CollectorSet] <System.String[]>] [[-InputObject] <System.Object[]>] [-NoWait
<Switch>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
Starts Performance Monitor Data Collector Set.
PARAMETERS
-CollectorSet [<System.String[]>]
The name of the Collector Set to start.
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
-Credential [<Pscredential>]
Allows you to login to $ComputerName 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
-NoWait [<Switch>]
If this switch is enabled, the collector is started and the results are returned immediately.
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
