Alert on Deadlock

  • I have created an SQL Agent Alert which should notify me whenever

    a deadlock is occured on sql server. The following are the details:

    Type : Performance Condition Alert

    Object : SQLServerLocks

    Counter : Number of deadlocks/sec

    Instance: Database

    Alert : If counter value rises above 0

    I got deadlock situation a couple of times on server but i have never received any notification. It seems this settings doenot work. Pls. advise!

    Thanks

  • Have you set the query wait time using sp_configure?

  • Its the default of -1. I just want to setup deadlock alert. Can you show me how i can do this??

  • - keep in mind the responce to the alert is assync ! You may not find the situation anymore.

    - Start traces 1204 and 3605 so you get the deadlock info in the sqlserver errorlog.  ( dbcc traceon(1204, 3605, -1)  )

    - or even better add these to the startup parameters of you sqlserver instance. -T1204 and -T3605
