On a previous post , we discussed what is an extended event (XE) and how to create one.
With the following T-SQL you can quickly check what are the currently running Extended Events sessions:
SELECT ES.name, iif(RS.name IS NULL, 0, 1) AS running FROM sys.dm_xe_sessions RS RIGHT JOIN sys.server_event_sessions ES ON RS.name = ES.name --WHERE es.name = '<YOUR XE SESSION NAME>'The column running will show 0 if the session is currently stopped and 1 if it is currently running.
In the commented WHERE clause, you can filter for a specific session.
Hope this helps you to monitor your XE sessions!
