how to enable Activity Monitor

  • I am administrator and I don't see activity monior option in sql 2005

    What am I missing , i am on service pack 1

  • If you are a sysadmin you dont need any extra permissions but if you are not you need View Server State permission.

  • If it's still real urgent and you still can't see it you can use this query (it is what activity monitor runs).

    Keep in mind that it requires view server state permissions...

    Are you right clicking the instance in SSMS to check for Activity Monitor?
