Create a trace in SQL Server Profiler that contains the Deadlock graph event
D.
Create an extended events session to capture deadlock information.
Explanation:
Troubleshooting deadlocks
You have been receiving reports from users indicating that certain applications are returning deadlock errors.
To maximize the effectiveness of troubleshooting these problems, you decide to focus on the deadlocks that
are hit most frequently. You create an Extended Events session that:
/ Configures deadlock event tracking for the session.
/ Specifies a target that aggregates based on an identifier for the deadlock.
You run the Extended Events session, and after additional deadlocks are reported you are able to obtain
aggregated deadlock information, along with the complete XML deadlock graph for each source. Using this
information you are able to pin point the most common deadlocks and start working on a solution.
