function Start-DbaPfDataCollectorSet {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Starts Performance Monitor Data Collector Set.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        Starts Performance Monitor Data Collector Set.
 
    .PARAMETER ComputerName
        The target computer. Defaults to localhost.
 
    .PARAMETER Credential
        Allows you to login to $ComputerName using alternative credentials. To use:
 
        $cred = Get-Credential, then pass $cred object to the -Credential parameter.
 
    .PARAMETER CollectorSet
        The name of the Collector Set to start.
 
    .PARAMETER NoWait
        If this switch is enabled, the collector is started and the results are returned immediately.
 
    .PARAMETER InputObject
        Accepts the object output by Get-DbaPfDataCollectorSet via the pipeline.
 
    .PARAMETER WhatIf
        If this switch is enabled, no actions are performed but informational messages will be displayed that explain what would happen if the command were to run.
 
    .PARAMETER Confirm
        If this switch is enabled, you will be prompted for confirmation before executing any operations that change state.
 
    .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.
