FIX: The CPU usage of the resource monitor is very high when the virtual memory is running low in SQL Server 2008


Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2008 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2008 fix release.

Symptoms

In Microsoft SQL Server 2008, you see that the CPU usage of the resource monitor is very high when the virtual memory is running low on the server. You can examine the CPU usage of the resource monitor by following these steps:
  1. Run the following statement to obtain the thread ID of the resource monitor:
    SELECT STasks.session_id, SThreads.os_thread_id, b.command FROM sys.dm_os_tasks AS 
    STasks
    INNER JOIN sys.dm_os_threads AS SThreads ON STasks.worker_address =
    SThreads.worker_address
    LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.dm_exec_requests b ON STasks.session_id = b.session_id
    WHERE STasks.session_id IS NOT NULL and command = 'RESOURCE MONITOR'
    ORDER BY sthreads.os_thread_id
  2. Open System Monitor (Perfmon.exe), and then add the ID Thread counter to the Thread performance object for all sqlservr instances.
  3. Click View Report to display the information. Note the instance name of the resource monitor based on the thread id that you obtained in step 1.
  4. Open another instance of System Monitor, and then add the % Processor Time counter to the Thread performance object for the instance that you obtained in step 4. When you view the % Processor Time counter, you see that the CPU usage of the resource monitor is very high.
