sp_WhoIsActive is a comprehensive activity monitoring stored procedure for SQL Server 2005 through 2022 and Azure SQL DB. It is distributed as a T-SQL script that you install into a database to inspect currently running sessions and queries.

Use cases

  • see what queries are currently running on my sql server
  • find long-running or blocking sessions in sql server
  • troubleshoot slow queries and blocking chains
  • monitor active sessions on azure sql database
  • replace sp_who2 with a richer activity view
  • identify which stored procedure is causing blocking

When to choose

  • you administer or develop against SQL Server or Azure SQL DB and need real-time session and query activity insight
  • you want a free, community-maintained alternative to sp_who2 with richer detail

When to avoid

  • you use a database engine other than SQL Server
  • you need historical or long-term metrics collection rather than point-in-time activity snapshots
