Lesson Learned #441: Monitoring TempDB Transactions Space in Azure SQL Elastic Pools with PowerShell
Today, we addressed a service request from our customer who needed to identify both the session and the text of the query responsible for a significant increase in the transaction log of the tempdb among the databases within the Elastic DB Pool. This increment in the transaction log was leading to an error message: “Msg 9002, Level 17, State 4 - The transaction log for database 'tempdb' is full due to 'ACTIVE_TRANSACTION', with the holdup identified as (XXX:NNN:YYY)" The TempDB database in Azure SQL plays a vital role in the performance and management of your SQL instances. Monitoring its transactions closely helps ensure smooth operation and efficient troubleshooting when issues arise. In this article, we’ll explore a PowerShell script designed to monitor transactions within TempDB in the context of Azure SQL Elastic Pools.
