function Set-DbaAgentAlert {
    <#
.SYNOPSIS
Set-DbaAgentAlert updates a the status of a SQL Agent Alert.
 
.DESCRIPTION
Set-DbaAgentAlert updates an alert in the SQL Server Agent with parameters supplied.
 
.PARAMETER SqlInstance
SQL Server instance. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2000 or greater.
 
.PARAMETER SqlCredential
Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential)
 
.PARAMETER Alert
The name of the alert.
 
.PARAMETER NewName
The new name for the alert.
 
.PARAMETER Enabled
Enabled the alert.
 
.PARAMETER Disabled
Disabled the alert.
 
.PARAMETER Force
The force parameter will ignore some errors in the parameters and assume defaults.
 
.PARAMETER InputObject
Enables piping alert objects
 
.PARAMETER WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the command were to run. No actions are actually performed.
 
.PARAMETER Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before executing any changing operations within the command.
 
.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.
