Victimless deadlocks

kevriley

From 8.0.22, the release notes state 

victimless (eg Exchange Event) deadlocks are excluded by default

In the alert configuration for Deadlock alerts we have the checkbox

Alert when deadlock has no victim process

Does ticking this override the default setting?

Russell D

Hi Kevan, yes it should override the default.

kevriley

I thought so.  It isn't though, as I'm seeing deadlocks in the sqlmonitor_session extended event and despite this checkbox being ticked, I didn't get any alerts

Russell D

Can you send in some details please Kevan?

kevriley

Sure - do you want me to open a support ticket @Russell D ?

Russell D

It's probably easier yes.
