Hi,
I have a case which redgate db monitor shows plan which differ than db cache plan for specific SP.
The sequence of events are:
1. DB cache plan for this SP created at 2019-06-16 17:54 (first screenshot)
2. SP bad performance detected on 2019-07-01, when looking at redgate sql monitor top queries, and clicked on the query (SP), the query plan that was displayed was created at  2019-06-16 17:54 (which match what db shows in cache plan) but the plan itself is very different than the cache plan (second screenshot )
3. * I'm logging with sp_whoisactive the activity in the server, and it shows that for the bad performance call from 2019-07-01 the plan was NULL (third screenshot)

I will very appreciate clarification on this strange case.

Thank you
Asaf

    Hi @AsafC,

    Hmm, this may be a symptom of a fix we put in place for another issue.  I'm going to double check with the team and see if that is possibly the case and will update here when I have more information.

    Kind regards,

    Hi @AsafC,

    Apologies for the delay in coming back to you here.

    I just wanted to say that it does seem like this is related to the other fix as I mentioned previously.  Unfortunately the team doesn't have capacity this year to delver further into this issue which has been backlogged.

    The issue is still in our system and I have left a note to update here at such time as the issue is worked on.

    Kind regards,
