I had added the Extended event to track sql calls which is slowing down my system leading to Timeout exceptions and other
CREATE EVENT SESSION [longrunning_statements] ON SERVER
ADD EVENT sqlserver.sql_statement_completed(
WHERE ([duration]>(2000000) AND [database_id]=(9)))
ADD TARGET package0.event_file(SET filename=N'c:\capture\xe_longrunning_statement.xel',metadatafile=N'c:\capture\xe_longrunning_statement.xem')
WITH (MAX_MEMORY=4096 KB,EVENT_RETENTION_MODE=ALLOW_SINGLE_EVENT_LOSS,MAX_DISPATCH_LATENCY=30 SECONDS,MAX_EVENT_SIZE=0 KB,MEMORY_PARTITION_MODE=NONE,TRACK_CAUSALITY=OFF,STARTUP_STATE=OFF)
GO
But i noticed it does not register sql server updates/read queries/procedures calls from Entity Framework but only logged my sql queries run using SSMS.
Any ideas are appreciated
UPDATE:
I use EF6.1 which used i think batches to save data.
Instead of trying to capture sqlserver.sql_statement_completed
I would capture sqlserver.sql_batch_completed
and sqlserver.rpc_completed
for application/API issued queries/stored procedures.
If that does not work then removing the filters(or at least the duration
filter (as Andrey is suggesting in the comments) would probably give us more insight on why the queries are not being captured.
