Project Description
SQL 2008 Extended Events are a powerful new way of troubleshooting problems with SQL Server. One short coming is that there is no UI support for this new feature. The Extended Events Manager is a C# .NET winforms application that aims to simplify creating and viewing metadata for Extended Events Sessions in SQL 2008.
This project was initially published on the MSDN Code Gallery:
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/ExtendedEventManager/
Planned Functionality:
- View Extended Events Metadata for all Available Objects
- View Event Sessions on a Server
- Start/Stop Events Sessions
- Create new Event Sessions
- Alter existing Event Sessions
- Drop Event Session
- Script all operations
- View information stored in targets for active Event Sessions
