Capture query which takes longer than 20 seconds and send email from SQL Server

  • We have production and development environment both support. I want to configure SQL Server to notify via email such queries which takes longer than 20 seconds, How can I do this? It should capture DB, query, application name, server, user, IP etc. to identify what happens at what time.
    Earlier I used WMI events to capture if anyone who made security changes, it generates email and run job to notify operators. But don't know how to capture queries running longer than 20 seconds ....

    Namespace: \\.\root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ServerEvents\MSSQLSERVER
    query: select * from AUDIT_ADD_DB_USER_EVENT
    To check if a user is added in DB, it notifies through email ... Like this I need

    Please help.

  • look at monitoring tools such as redgate

  • You can adapt the query on this page to return queries that took more than 20 seconds.  Create a job to run regularly (maybe every five minutes) and notify you if there are any results.  Just bear in mind that you're querying the plan cache, so you'll only be capturing the most recent execution of the query, and if you have Optimize for Ad hoc Workloads enabled, you won't capture single-use queries at all.

  • I need to implement some event like this one: wmi
    it should be working but it won't 
    Please see someone has implemented and working, please share it here.

    Regards,

  • Second vote for Redgate SQL Monitor. That will do everything you're asking for.

    However, if you really want to build it yourself, look to Extended Events. You can use those to capture only queries that run longer than the value you define, and then output to ETW and do an email from there. It's going to be a lot of work to set up the email part.
