function Stop-DbaXESession {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Stops Extended Events sessions.
 
        .DESCRIPTION
            This script stops Extended Events sessions on a SQL Server instance.
 
        .PARAMETER SqlInstance
            Target SQL Server. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2008 or higher.
 
        .PARAMETER SqlCredential
            Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins instead of Windows Authentication (AKA Integrated or Trusted). To use:
 
            $scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -SqlCredential parameter.
 
            Windows Authentication will be used if SqlCredential is not specified. SQL Server does not accept Windows credentials being passed as credentials.
 
            To connect as a different Windows user, run PowerShell as that user.
 
        .PARAMETER Session
            Specifies individual Extended Events sessions to stop.
 
        .PARAMETER AllSessions
            If this switch is enabled, all Extended Events sessions will be stopped except the packaged sessions AlwaysOn_health, system_health, telemetry_xevents.
 
        .PARAMETER SessionCollection
            Accepts the object output by Get-DbaXESession as the list of sessions to be stopped.
 
        .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.
