Complete Deadlock Analysis

Identifying and troubleshooting deadlocks can be a very time and labor intensive process. While reading an article by Praveen Voleti, I was reminded just how many steps the native SQL Server process requires to collect the needed information from various locations to get the complete picture of the deadlock issue.

Fortunately, SQL Sentry Performance Advisor provides complete details on any deadlock that occurs on your SQL Server 2005 and 2008 instances in one view with no additional configuration required! Instead of hours of research and effort assembling bits and pieces of the problem, instantly get all the details with a single click. This includes a graphical representation of the deadlock, giving you a view of the true scope of the issue.

Additionally, when integrated with SQL Sentry Event Manager, your deadlock will be displayed on your server’s calendar views giving you a complete chronological profile. See what jobs and packages were running at the time the trouble started. Couple this with SQL Sentry’s highly customizable notifications and be assured you will be instantly alerted whenever a deadlock occurred.

If you'd like to know more about SQL Sentry Performance Advisor, please let me know when you're available for a quick demo.
