- 7. • Error that has a severity >=20 • Memory-related errors which include 17803, 701, 802, 8645, 8651, 8657 and 8902 • A record of any non-yielding scheduler problems • Any deadlocks that are detected • Sessions that have waited on latches (or other interesting resources) for > 15 seconds • Waiting on locks for > 30 seconds • Lon preemptive waits • CLR allocation and virtual allocation failures • System component results from sp_server_diagnostics • Instance health • CLR Allocation failures • Connectivity errors Security errors
- 9. • Column Description Sql_handle Hash map of the SQL text of the request. Is nullable. Plan_handle Hash map of the plan for SQL execution. Is nullable. Query_hash Binary hash value calculated on the query and used to identify queries that have similar logic. You can use the query hash to determine the aggregate resource usage for queries that differ only by literal values. Query_plan_hash Binary hash value calculated on the query execution plan and used to identify similar query execution plans. You can use the query plan hash to find the cumulative cost of queries that have similar execution plans. Ideal_memory_kb Ideal memory grant size in KB. Granted_memory_kb Granted memory in KB. Used_memory_kb Used memory in KB. Usage_percent Used/granted memory for easy filtering. Dop Degree of parallelism. Granted_percent Granted/ideal memory for easy filtering.
