function Get-DbaXEStore {
 <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Get a Extended Events store
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    Get a Extended Events store
 
    .PARAMETER SqlInstance
    The SQL Instances that you're connecting to.
 
    .PARAMETER SqlCredential
    Credential object used to connect to the SQL Server as a different user
 
    .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.
