I have created an alert to send me an email when the Longest Transaction Running Time counter rises above a certain threshold. But the description in the email is very vague:
The SQL Server performance counter 'Longest Transaction Running Time' (instance 'N/A') of object 'SQLServer:Transactions' is now above the threshold of 5.00 (the current value is 10.00).
Is there any way to get the email to tell me exactly what transaction generated the alert?
Thanks!

How do you send the alert?
Sql Monitor would have this info (14 free trial).
Or this query :
SELECT * FROM sys.dm_exec_requests WHERE open_transaction_count > 0 ORDER BY start_time DESC

In SSMS, expand SQL Server Agent, right-click Alerts and select New Alert. When setting up the alert you can specify how you want to be notified.

You'll have to use a job to send you the e-mail which will be 100% customizable.
In the alert ask to start a job, then use my query to generate usefull output, then sp_send_dbmail

Thank you. That should do the trick. I set that up and am waiting for an alert to trigger to test it out.
I now have other alerts that I would also like to set up jobs for but I don't know the query to use. For example, the Full Scans Per Second alert:
The SQL Server performance counter 'Full Scans/sec' (instance 'N/A') of object 'SQLServer:Access Methods' is now above the threshold of 10.00 (the current value is 17.10).
Is there a query that will tell me the table(s) that are being scanned?
In general, is there a way to access the query that is triggering the alerts to be able to get more information from it than the very vague message that it sends?
Thank you

Counters by themselves are useless.
You need to compare them to a baseline.
This is probably closer to what you need :
