HOw to get Automatic Email notification for High CPU Utilization >80 % with the query which is causing the high CPU usage

  • hi all,

    Do any one have any script by which i can get a automatic email notification when a HIGH CPU usage n >80 % occurs on the Sql server 2005 instance with the query which is causing the high CPU usage.

    thanks

  • I am not sure how you could alert based on one specific query causing 80% CPU use because SQL Server abstracts a lot of that but you could get a list of all the queries and their CPU use for analysis when the server goes above 80% CPU use. You could do this by setting up a WMI Alert in SQL Agent that would run a job when CPU reached 80% on the server. The job could capture all running queries. Be careful with this kind of approach though, it can make bad times worse depending on how aggressive your job is at pulling information from the server.

  • Try third party tools........like sentry or nagios alerts.

  • hi,

    well as for now no 3rd party tool & WMI Alert can you pass me the script or any link through which i can get some idea........

  • Bing "wmi alert" to read about them for SQL Server Agent. Also lookup "ssis wmi event watcher" not because you need to use the object in ssis but because the msdn article has a sample WMI event query that will fire when CPU use goes above 80%.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
