Extended Events - New Age of Profiling
Extended Events is the replacement for profiler in many respects, and will be the choice of capturing data from within SQL Server now and in future editions,
So we need to understand the differences it has to profiler "old guard" and why we should be using this new feature for this purpose I'll take you on a Guided tour of the
key aspects, and show you simply how in just minutes you can up and running and capturing data using this new method and how to analyze it effectively
So follow me to the "new age" of understanding your systems activity

Session's agenda listed
here http://www.sqlpass.org/sqlrally/2012/nordic/Agenda.aspx
My session will essentially
be the also the same as I'll be presenting @ this year's Summit Nov 6th - 9th SQL PASS Summit

- I'm excited to be attending my 2nd Summit, I was @ last
year’s Summit and where I also did a regular session on Wait Statistics "Why
are We Waiting.." I had 310 Attendees showed up for that, it was
an amazing event :-)
- This year I'm doubly excited to again presenting a
regular Session, this time on SQL Server 2012 Memory
SQL Server 2012 Memory
Management [DBA-312]
Session Category: Regular Session (75 minutes)
Session Track: Enterprise Database Administration & Deployment
Speaker(s): Neil Hambly
SQL Server 2012 brings a wide range of changes, including a key change in how
SQL Server memory is managed.
Earlier releases of SQL
Server have two memory managers, which have now been merged into one. And
that’s just the beginning of the changes for SQL Server memory.
This session will dive into SQL Server 2012's new memory architecture. We'll
see how to diagnose memory performance issues and gain insight into memory
pressure issues.
We'll also cover the
settings to adjust memory configuration levels and their impact.

architecture. We’ll see how to diagnose memory performance issues and gain
insight into memory pressure issues. We’ll also cover the settings to adjust
memory configuration levels and their impact.
This session is packed
with Demo’s; in fact more than half this session is spent demonstrating so as
to provide great opportunities to delve deep into memory clerks and SQLOS and
use Resource governor and other techniques to ensure good memory utilization.
Time is dedicated to discuss real-world experiences of consolidating multiple
SQL Systems onto new equipment, how to configure servers with large amounts of
RAM (512GB). The session concludes with discussions on LPIM, large pages and
memory trace flags.
Does anyone think I was
