These Colors Don’t Gum
If you head to my GitHub repo, there’s an update to sp_PressureDetector, a free script I publish to help you figure out when your server is under CPU or memory pressure.
While working with a client recently, I found it useful to illustrate how much of their memory was used by different memory consumers.
- Buffer pool
- Total other
- Top 5 other
It helps put in perspective just how many different things are asking for a piece of your precious RAM.

This is a bad example from my personal server laptop, but you get the idea.
Anyway, that’s that. clink over to my GitHub repo to download it.
Thanks for reading!
That’s great Erik, thank you!
Hey Erik, thanks for start_statment_offset 😉
