SQL Server 2008 Extended Events SSMS Addin

 

Project Description

SQL 2008 Extended Events are a powerful new way of troubleshooting problems with SQL Server. One short coming is that there is no UI support for this new feature. The Extended Events Manager is a SSMS Addin to bridge this gap.
Originally an external application, this project has undergone numerous updates to get it to the point where it is now a SSMS Addin that integrates directly into Management Studio. The latest build of the external application is still available for download, but all new development efforts will target the SSMS Addin only.

Functionality:

• View Extended Events Metadata for all Available Objects
• View Event Sessions on a Server
• Start/Stop Events Sessions
• Create new Event Sessions
• Alter existing Event Sessions
• Drop Event Session
• Script all operations
• View information stored in targets for active Event Sessions
• Configurable UI options that add flexibility to the application.
  • Ability to set Defaults to override the Library Event Session Options Defaults.
  • Provide options for Warnings on certain Events like Dropping an Active Event Session.

Coming Attractions

• Add Predicate value and Target Option value validation to ensure that input values are compatible by datatype with the objects value datatype.
• Convert GridViews to function closer to SSMS PBM Condition Grid.
