Get-DbaResourceGovernor

Synopsis

Retrieves Resource Governor configuration and status from SQL Server instances

Description

Retrieves the Resource Governor object containing configuration details, enabled status, and associated resource pools. Resource Governor allows DBAs to manage SQL Server workload and resource consumption by setting limits on CPU, memory, and I/O usage for different workloads. This function helps you quickly check if Resource Governor is enabled, view classifier functions, and examine current resource pool configurations without writing custom T-SQL queries.

-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.
