To check if an extended event session with a name exists I use the following statement:

SELECT 1 FROM sys.dm_xe_sessions WHERE name = 'exName'

This only returns 1 if the session is started.
How can I determine the inactive sessions also?
(SQL Server 2008)

thanks,

Robbert

I asked the same question on twitter and got an instant reply from John Sansom (@SqlBrit)
The answer is: use sys.server_event_sessions, not sys.dm_xe_sessions.

Thanks John,

Robbert
