Wait Stats In Azure Data Studio

Paul Randal takes the Wait Stats Report in Azure Data Studio for a spin:

Note that the x-axis is percentage of all waits, not wait count. You’ll see that PREEMPTIVE_OS_FLUSHFILEBUFFERS is the top wait on my Linux instance – that’s by design and I’ll blog about that next. I’ve also submitted a GitHub change to add that wait to the list of waits filtered out by script the extension uses.

Anyway, you can drill in to the details by clicking the ellipsis at the top-right of the graph and selecting ‘Show Details’. That’ll give all the waits and by selecting each one you can see the usual output from my waits script. To get more information on what each wait means, select the bottom cell, right-click on the URL to copy it, and paste into your favorite browser to go to my waits library. And of course, you can refresh the results via the ellipsis as well.

I like how Azure Data Studio is coming together as a full product. There’s a ways to go yet, but it’s getting there.
