    .SYNOPSIS
        Returns calculations on the database virtual log files for database on a SQL instance.
         
    .DESCRIPTION
        Having a transaction log file with too many virtual log files (VLFs) can hurt database performance.
         
        Too many VLFs can cause transaction log backups to slow down and can also slow down database recovery and, in extreme cases, even affect insert/update/delete performance.

        If you've got a high number of VLFs, you can use Expand-SqlTLogResponsibly to reduce the number.
         
    .PARAMETER SqlInstance
        Specifies the SQL Server instance(s) to scan.
         
    .PARAMETER SqlCredential
        Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential)
         
    .PARAMETER Database
        Specifies the database(s) to process. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all databases will be processed.
         
    .PARAMETER ExcludeDatabase
        Specifies the database(s) to exclude from processing. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server.
         
    .PARAMETER IncludeSystemDBs
        If this switch is enabled, system database information will be displayed.
         
    .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.

    .EXAMPLE
        Test-DbaDbVirtualLogFile -SqlInstance sqlcluster
         
        Returns all user database virtual log file counts for the sqlcluster instance.
         
    .EXAMPLE
        Test-DbaDbVirtualLogFile -SqlInstance sqlserver | Where-Object {$_.Count -ge 50}
         
        Returns user databases that have 50 or more VLFs.
         
    .EXAMPLE
        @('sqlserver','sqlcluster') | Test-DbaDbVirtualLogFile
         
        Returns all VLF information for the sqlserver and sqlcluster SQL Server instances. Processes data via the pipeline.
         
    .EXAMPLE
        Test-DbaDbVirtualLogFile -SqlInstance sqlcluster -Database db1, db2
         
        Returns VLF counts for the db1 and db2 databases on sqlcluster.
