Synopsis

Completely removes SqlWatch monitoring solution from a SQL Server instance

Description

Performs a complete uninstallation of the SqlWatch performance monitoring solution by removing all associated database objects, SQL Agent jobs, and historical data. This includes dropping all SqlWatch tables (containing performance metrics history), views, stored procedures, functions, Extended Events sessions, Service Broker components, assemblies, and user-defined table types. The function also unpublishes the SqlWatch DACPAC registration to ensure clean removal. Use this when decommissioning SqlWatch or preparing for a fresh installation after configuration issues.

    [[-SqlCredential] <PSCredential>]
    [[-Database] <String>]
    [-EnableException]
    [-WhatIf]

Required Parameters

-SqlInstance

SQL Server name or SMO object representing the SQL Server to connect to.

Alias
Required True
Pipeline true (ByValue)
Default Value

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.

Alias
Required False
Pipeline false
Default Value
-Database

Specifies the database containing the SqlWatch installation to remove. Defaults to master.
Use this when SqlWatch was installed in a database other than the default master database.

Alias
Required False
Pipeline false
Default Value master
-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.

Alias
Required False
Pipeline false
Default Value False
-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the command were to run. No actions are actually performed.

Alias wi
Required False
Pipeline false
Default Value
-Confirm

Prompts to confirm actions

Alias cf
Required False
Pipeline false
Default Value
