Part VII: Monitoring and Auditing
Summary
Extended Events is an extremely useful tool in troubleshooting SQL Server problems. In SQL
Server 2008, the feature didn’t have the graphical tools in place to create and modify event
sessions, so it wasn’t as widely adopted as was hoped. However, in SQL Server 2012, the new
user-interface for Extended Events has provided a huge step forward in usability. With the
new graphical user interface, users can easily create and modify event sessions without the
need to know all the underlying DMVs, as was previously needed.c40.indd 944c40.indd 944 7/31/2012 10:02:42 AM7/31/2012 10:02:42 AM
