Published in:
Pro SQL Server Internals
Abstract
Extended Events is a highly scalable performance-monitoring and troubleshooting solution introduced in SQL Server 2008. It is targeted as a replacement for SQL Traces, which was deprecated in SQL Server 2012. Extended Events is lightweight, and it has the flexibility to allow for troubleshooting of some scenarios that were not possible with SQL Traces.
