High TRACEWRITE waits - something to worry about?

  • We have recently started running a 3rd-party performance-monitoring tool on our SQL server instances and are observing very high waits due to the TRACEWRITE wait type.

    The percentage of time of the wait occurrence is 100%(!).

    Is this something to be concerned about?

  • I'm also seeing the same on one of our servers. There are about 20-35 TRACEWRITE wait types at any given time. The users are complaining of performance issues. I don't see anything else out of place on the server.

    Thanks,

  • Should i turn off the default trace ignite is telling me it is causing a high about of wait during production hours

  • Should i turn off the default trace ignite is telling me it is causing a high amount of wait during production hours

    This is the #1 query in terms of total execution time.

    •It ran for 15.9 hours (across all executions).

    •It took 10.6% of total instance execution time.
