  • Hi, my tempdb got big to 3 GB, so how can I check what is causing tempdb to grow so fast?

    Thank you

    Hi, my tempdb got big to 3 GB, so how can I check what is causing tempdb to grow so fast?

    Thank you

    You have sql monitor installed. Go the analysis tab, Database / Total size, tempdb.

    Change the date range to see when it happened.

    Check if you have long running queries or other alerts around that time. Look around what the software is telling you.

    I can't help more than that aside from login in the system to do your job.
