Examples

 

Example: 1
PS C:\> Import-DbaPfDataCollectorSetTemplate -ComputerName sql2017 -Template 'Long Running Query'

Creates a new data collector set named 'Long Running Query' from the dbatools repository on the SQL Server sql2017.

Example: 2
PS C:\> Import-DbaPfDataCollectorSetTemplate -ComputerName sql2017 -Template 'Long Running Query' -DisplayName 'New Long running query' -Confirm

Creates a new data collector set named "New Long Running Query" using the 'Long Running Query' template. Forces a confirmation if the template exists.

Example: 3
PS C:\> Get-DbaPfDataCollectorSet -ComputerName sql2017 -Session db_ola_health | Remove-DbaPfDataCollectorSet

Import-DbaPfDataCollectorSetTemplate -ComputerName sql2017 -Template db_ola_health | Start-DbaPfDataCollectorSet
Imports a session if it exists, then recreates it using a template.

Example: 4
PS C:\> Get-DbaPfDataCollectorSetTemplate | Out-GridView -PassThru | Import-DbaPfDataCollectorSetTemplate -ComputerName sql2017

Allows you to select a Session template then import to an instance named sql2017.

Example: 5
PS C:\> Import-DbaPfDataCollectorSetTemplate -ComputerName sql2017 -Template 'Long Running Query' -Instance SHAREPOINT

Creates a new data collector set named 'Long Running Query' from the dbatools repository on the SQL Server sql2017 for both the default and the SHAREPOINT instance.
