I do not think you understand. Why shrink the Temp DB? Llet me start again.

System TempDB has 1 LDF device of 16 GB. We get alerts when the TempDB Usage is over 60%, meaning there are transaction using the TempDB. Once a transaction is finished, it should clear out of the log. I am looking for help finding the best way to see what is actually using resources in the TempDB log at any given time. I am not looking shring Temp DB (and this is definitely not recommended practice from Microsoft). I want the 16 GB log file, I just want to see if I can find out what is using the space.

"Hmmm. Lets go see what is utilizing the TempDb right now."

Thx!
