I was working with one of the user project to monitor the Performance Audit of their SQL Server estate. One SQL instance among the SQL farm is very important to their day-to-day business and cannot sustain even 5 minutes of downtime which is termed as 24/7 kind of application. During the troubleshooting...
Recently I was involved in one of the Performance Audit exercise at a client's place where they complain about Server CPU is always HIGH and what they have observed is even the physical disk where TEMPDB is located has been used extensively, as they can see spikes from SYSMON counters.

You may be aware the data is saved as a file with .BLG extension which can...
