Measures reported by ProLongRunQryTest

For each user auto-discovered on the target database server, this test tracks the currently executing queries and determines the number of queries that have been running for a long time. This test also tracks the maximum time taken to execute the queries. You can also use the detailed diagnosis of this test to drill down to the exact queries that have been running for an unreasonably long time, and thus isolate the user executing the resource-intensive queries to the database.

Outputs of the test: One set of results for each user on the target database server

Descriptor: User

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
No_of_long_running_query Indicates the number of queries currently executing (for this user) on the database server that have been running for more time than the configured Elapsed Time. Number

The detailed diagnosis for this measure indicates the exact queries and which user is executing the queries. This information can be very useful in identifying queries that may be candidates for optimization.

By comparing the value of this measure across the users, administrators can identify the user who is executing the most number of resource intensive queries.

Max_elapsed_time Indicates the maximum duration taken to execute the queries by this user. Seconds
