function Get-DbaDump { <# .SYNOPSIS Locate a SQL Server that has generated any memory dump files. .DESCRIPTION The type of dump included in the search include minidump, all-thread dump, or a full dump. The files have an extendion of .mdmp. .PARAMETER SqlInstance 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. .PARAMETER SqlCredential 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. .PARAMETER EnableException 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. .NOTES Tags: Engine, Corruption Author: Garry Bargsley (@gbargsley), http://blog.garrybargsley.com Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (c) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Get-DbaDump .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaDump -SqlInstance sql2016 Shows the detailed information for memory dump(s) located on sql2016 instance .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaDump -SqlInstance sql2016 -SqlCredential sqladmin Shows the detailed information for memory dump(s) located on sql2016 instance.
