Retrieves Query Store configuration settings from databases across SQL Server instances.
Returns the complete Query Store configuration for user databases, including capture modes, storage limits, cleanup policies, and retention settings. This function helps DBAs audit Query Store configurations across their environment, identify databases with suboptimal settings, and ensure consistent Query Store policies. Query Store settings directly impact query performance monitoring, plan regression detection, and storage consumption, so regular configuration reviews are essential for maintaining optimal performance insights.

Alias | |
Required | True |
Pipeline | true (ByValue) |
Default Value |
SqlLogin 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.
Alias | |
Required | False |
Pipeline | false |
Default Value |
Specifies which user databases to retrieve Query Store configuration from. Accepts database names, wildcards, or arrays for multiple databases.
Use this when you need to audit Query Store settings for specific databases rather than scanning your entire instance.
Alias | |
Required | False |
Pipeline | false |
Default Value |
Excludes specific databases from Query Store configuration retrieval. System databases (master, tempdb, model) are automatically excluded.
Useful for skipping databases that you know don't need Query Store monitoring or have restricted access permissions.

Required | False |
Pipeline | false |
Default Value |
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.
