“People are complaining about query timeouts. I don’t see anything happening in SQL Server, but they always say the database is the problem. How can I tell what’s really going on?”
When your users keep hitting timeouts in their application, they naturally think the database is killing off helpless queries. In this webinar Kendra Little will tell you how to triage treacherous timeout situations and collect hard evidence about whether or not the problem is in the database. Do the right detective work and you can turn your frustrated users and irate developers into raving fans.
This session is be 200-level – you should have familiarity with OLTP concepts and understand what DMVs and Profiler are, but you don’t have to be an expert with them.

Kendra,
I am a first time viewer of the website and wanted to say thanks for this totally awesome post. Even though none of the information was new to me it is nice to “put all the piece together” and show it in a well laid out and easy to follow plan. This will help me stay organized and ensure that I keep all the individual tasks in the proper order.
Thanks,

Nice video Kendra!
Great video Kendra. This is really good “evergreen content”, so you will be able to steer customers to this information over the long haul and they’ll get value from this – and the all powerful Google will steer peeps to it over a longer period of time. Your delivery is great!
Cheers,
Andy
