Help to retrieve information on long running queries utilizing high CPU with the login information

  • Hi,

    Need help to retrieve information on long running queries utilizing high CPU with the login information in sql 2k8.

    I got the information on long running queries utilizing high CPU using one of dmvs but it didn't give me which user/application was running that long running query. can someone provide or educate on getting that info pls..Appreciate your responses.

  • I recommend sp_WhoIsActive that Adam Machanic has provided free to the community. You can download it here.

    If you don't want to go that route you need to be sure you are using:

    sys.dm_exec_connections

    sys.dm_exec_sessions - has login information

    sys.dm_exec_requests - has query and performance information

  • Thanks for the response Jack.

    I don't think we can use third party tool on our PROD. Coming to using dmvs....with sys.dm_exec_sessions I was able to get only the current logins/connections.
