.NAME
SqlTraceFlag .DESCRIPTION The `SqlTraceFlag` DSC resource will remove or set one or more trace flags on a sql server engine. ## Requirements * Target machine must be running Windows Server 2012 or later. * Target machine must be running SQL Server Database Engine 2012 or later. ## Security Requirements * The account running this resource must have admin access to the Windows Server. ## Known issues All issues are not listed here, see [here for all open issues](https://github.com/dsccommunity/SqlServerDsc/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+in%3Atitle+SqlTraceFlag). .PARAMETER ServerName Write - String The host name of the SQL Server to be configured. Default value is the current computer name. .PARAMETER InstanceName Key - String The name of the SQL Server instance to be configured. .PARAMETER TraceFlags Write - UInt32Array An array of trace flags that startup options should have. This parameter will replace all the current trace flags with the specified trace flags. .PARAMETER TraceFlagsToInclude Write - UInt32Array An array of trace flags to be added to the existing trace flags. .PARAMETER TraceFlagsToExclude Write - UInt32Array An array of trace flags to be removed from the existing trace flags. .PARAMETER RestartService Write - Boolean Forces a restart of the Database Engine service and dependent services after the desired state is set. Default values is $false. .PARAMETER RestartTimeout Write - UInt32 The time the resource waits while the sql server services are restarted. Defaults to 120 seconds .EXAMPLE 1 This example shows how to set TraceFlags where all existing TraceFlags are overwriten by these Configuration Example { param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential] $SqlAdministratorCredential ) Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'SqlServerDsc' node localhost { SqlTraceFlag 'Set_SqlTraceFlags' { ServerName = 'sqltest.company.local' InstanceName = 'DSC' TraceFlags = 834, 1117, 1118, 2371, 3226 RestartService = $true PsDscRunAsCredential = $SqlAdministratorCredential } } } .EXAMPLE 2 This example shows how to set TraceFlags while keeping all existing traceflags. Also one existing traceflag is removed. Configuration Example { param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential] $SqlAdministratorCredential ) Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'SqlServerDsc' node localhost { SqlTraceFlag 'Set_SqlTraceFlagsIncludeExclude' { ServerName = 'sqltest.company.local' InstanceName = 'DSC' TraceFlagsToInclude = 834, 1117, 1118, 2371, 3226 TraceFlagsToExclude = 1112 RestartService = $true PsDscRunAsCredential = $SqlAdministratorCredential } } } .EXAMPLE 3 This example shows how to clear all TraceFlags. Configuration Example { param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential] $SqlAdministratorCredential ) Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'SqlServerDsc' node localhost { SqlTraceFlag 'Remove_SqlTraceFlags' { ServerName = 'sqltest.company.local' InstanceName = 'DSC' RestartService = $true TraceFlags = @() PsDscRunAsCredential = $SqlAdministratorCredential } } } |
