blocked-process-report

I’m a big fan of the built-in Blocked Process Report in SQL Server. It’s come in handy for troubleshooting blocking situations for me many times.

If you use SQL Server’s blocked process report or collect deadlock graphs, occasionally you’ll come across things that look like this:

waitresource=“PAGE: 6:3:70133 " waitresource=“KEY: 6:72057594041991168 (ce52f92a058c)”

What tools in SQL Server will notify you about blocking and help track the queries behind your toughest blocking and deadlocking problems?
