Automating Blocking Query Alerts in SQL Server

Blocking in SQL Server can degrade performance and lead to application slowdowns. Identifying and addressing long-running blocking queries is crucial for database administrators. In this post, we’ll create an automated job that runs every 10 minutes to detect and alert on blocking queries that persist for more than 5 minutes.

SET NOCOUNT ON

DECLARE @xml nvarchar(max)

SELECT @xml = Cast((SELECT @@SERVICENAME AS 'td','',b.session_id AS 'td',

'',

(b.wait_duration_ms/1000)/60 AS 'td',

'',

b.wait_type AS 'td',

'',

b.blocking_session_id AS 'td',

'',

t.text AS 'td'

FROM sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks b inner join sys.dm_exec_requests r on r.session_id= b.session_id

OUTER APPLY

sys.dm_exec_sql_text(sql_handle) t

WHERE b.blocking_session_id <> 0 and b.wait_duration_ms>300000

FOR xml path('tr'), elements) AS NVARCHAR(max))

Declare @body nvarchar(max)

SET @body =

'<html>

<head>

<style>

table, th, td

 {

border: 1px solid black;

border-collapse: collapse;

text-align: center;

}

</style>

</head>

<body>

<H2>

Blocking queries

</H2>

<table>

 <tr>

<th>Instance Name</th><th> Blocked Session ID </th> <th> Wating in minutes </th> <th> Wait type</th>

 <th> Blocking Session ID</th><th>Query waiting to execute</th>

</tr>'

SET @body = @body + @xml + '

</table>

</body>

</html>'

if(@xml is not null)

BEGIN

EXEC msdb.dbo.Sp_send_dbmail

@profile_name = 'sqlmail',

@body = @body,

@body_format ='html',

@recipients = 'bajeyudu@sqldbanow.com',

@copy_recipients ='ajay@sqldbanow.com', -- list of Email recipients

@subject = 'Blocking queries Alert-SQLDBANOWDB01';

END

SET NOCOUNT OFF
