How to import Extended Events session event_file target and parse deadlock-graph

Read Original

This article provides a detailed tutorial on leveraging SQL Server's Extended Events, specifically the system_health session, to capture deadlock events (error 1205). It explains methods to read data from event_file and ring_buffer targets using T-SQL and XQuery, comparing it to older tracing techniques like SQL Trace and trace flags for more efficient deadlock analysis.
