I have been trying to troubleshoot some deadlocks on one of our SQL servers.
I have been trying to get my head around the Extended Events feature, whilst trying to diagnose the issue regarding the deadlocks being faced.
To cut a long story short, i can find the deadlock information required within the'xml_deadlock_report'.
I can view each deadlock event without issue. However, i can only view the raw XML data. From what i have read, i should be able to display this in a graphical format by viewing the 'Deadlock' tab, within SSMS. However when i click on this, i only receive the following message:
I have checked this on other servers, and i can normally view a graphical version of the XML results.
The problematic server is running SQL Server Standard 2014 with SP2.
Does anyone have any ideas how i can get this to work?
Thank you.
