Deadlocks

Deadlocks

A deadlock occurs when 2 processes are competing for a resource, but neither can obtain exclusive access. The resulting standoff is resolved by terminating one of the processes so the other can proceed.

The Deadlocks Module consists of two screens, Overview and Details.

The Overview screen displays a chart, Events Count, at the top of the screen that charts all Deadlock events based on the time range and filters applied. Below the chart is a table,*** Deadlock Groups***, displaying counts of all the deadlocks grouped by the Deadlock Group ID. The number of times a specific deadlock occurred is easily found in this table.

The Details screen requires an instance to be selected before data will be displayed. The Details screen can be accessed from the Overview screen when the View Details has been selected in the Deadlock Groups table by selecting the 3 vertical dots at the end of the row. The Deadlocks Details table is displayed in the Details screen and will display all deadlock events that occured based on the applied filters and time range.
