SQL Wait type xe_live_target_tvf

  • Hi All,

    We're having some performance problems with our server, and so checked the wait stats. When I run the following script, taken from Glenn Barry's, 2012 Diagnostic Information Queries, the highest wait stat, by an order of magnitude, is XE_LIVE_TARGET_TVF. We're running SQL 2012 x64 Standard on a Win2k8 machine. I can't find any information about this wait, and it's not documented on the msdn dm_os_wait_stats page. Can anyone tell me if it is relevant or just another wait that should be excluded?

    WITH Waits

    AS (SELECT wait_type, CAST(wait_time_ms / 1000. AS DECIMAL(12, 2)) AS [wait_time_s],

    CAST(100. * wait_time_ms / SUM(wait_time_ms) OVER () AS decimal(12,2)) AS [pct],

    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY wait_time_ms DESC) AS rn

    FROM sys.dm_os_wait_stats WITH (NOLOCK)

    WHERE wait_type NOT IN (N'CLR_SEMAPHORE', N'LAZYWRITER_SLEEP', N'RESOURCE_QUEUE',N'SLEEP_TASK',

    N'SLEEP_SYSTEMTASK', N'SQLTRACE_BUFFER_FLUSH', N'WAITFOR', N'LOGMGR_QUEUE',

    N'CHECKPOINT_QUEUE', N'REQUEST_FOR_DEADLOCK_SEARCH', N'XE_TIMER_EVENT',

    N'BROKER_TO_FLUSH', N'BROKER_TASK_STOP', N'CLR_MANUAL_EVENT', N'CLR_AUTO_EVENT',

    N'DISPATCHER_QUEUE_SEMAPHORE' ,N'FT_IFTS_SCHEDULER_IDLE_WAIT', N'XE_DISPATCHER_WAIT',

    N'XE_DISPATCHER_JOIN', N'SQLTRACE_INCREMENTAL_FLUSH_SLEEP', N'ONDEMAND_TASK_QUEUE',

    N'BROKER_EVENTHANDLER', N'SLEEP_BPOOL_FLUSH', N'SLEEP_DBSTARTUP', N'DIRTY_PAGE_POLL',

    N'HADR_FILESTREAM_IOMGR_IOCOMPLETION',N'SP_SERVER_DIAGNOSTICS_SLEEP')),

    Running_Waits

    AS (SELECT W1.wait_type, wait_time_s, pct,

    SUM(pct) OVER(ORDER BY pct DESC ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING) AS [running_pct]

    FROM Waits AS W1)

    SELECT wait_type, wait_time_s, pct, running_pct

    FROM Running_Waits

    WHERE running_pct - pct <= 99

    ORDER BY running_pct

    OPTION (RECOMPILE);

  • This is the wait when you are viewing live extended events data. I'm sure it would be safe to exclude it from the list.
