Required Parameters

-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.

Optional Parameters

-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.

-Database

The database(s) to process - this list is auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all databases will be processed.

-ExcludeDatabase

The database(s) to exclude - this list is auto-populated from the server

-EventType

Provide a filter on growth event type to filter the results. Allowed values: Growth, Shrink

-FileType

Provide a filter on file type to filter the results. Allowed values: Data, Log

-UseLocalTime

Return the local time of the instance instead of converting to UTC.

-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.
