function Get-DbaPfDataCollectorCounter {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Gets Performance Counters.
 
        .DESCRIPTION
            Gets Performance Counters.
 
        .PARAMETER ComputerName
            The target computer. Defaults to localhost.
 
        .PARAMETER Credential
            Allows you to login to servers using alternative credentials. To use:
 
            $scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -Credential parameter.
 
        .PARAMETER CollectorSet
            The Collector Set name.
   
        .PARAMETER Collector
            The Collector name.
    
        .PARAMETER Counter
            The Counter name to capture. This must be in the form of '\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time'.
     
        .PARAMETER InputObject
            Accepts the object output by Get-DbaPfDataCollectorSet via the pipeline.
 
        .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.
