function Get-DbaAgentLog {
<#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Gets the "SQL Agent Error Log" of an instance
     
    .DESCRIPTION
        Gets the "SQL Agent Error Log" of an instance. Returns all 10 error logs by default.
 
    .PARAMETER SqlInstance
        The SQL Server instance, or instances.
     
    .PARAMETER SqlCredential
        Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins as opposed to Windows Auth/Integrated/Trusted.
     
    .PARAMETER LogNumber
        An Int32 value that specifies the index number of the error log required. Error logs are listed 0 through 9 where 0 is the current error log and 9 is the oldest.
     
    .PARAMETER 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.
