.DESCRIPTION

Based on code from https://github.com/guyrleech/Citrix/blob/master/Get%20Citrix%20OData%20data.ps1

.PARAMETER ddc

The Delivery Controller to query

.PARAMETER daysago

Number of days ago to return records for

.PARAMETER username

Usernname to return connection failures for otherwise will return all connection failures

.EXAMPLE

'.\Get Citrix OData data.ps1' -ddc ctxddc01
