Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You have an active session with the sni_trace XEvent.
-
You use the sys.dm_exec_connections DMV.
-
SQL Server has many concurrent login/logout activities.
In this scenario, you may encounter a non-yielding scheduler condition with the CONNECTION_MANAGER spinlock, and a memory dump occurs.
Workaround
The workaround for this issue is to avoid running an XEvent session with the sni_trace XE in a production environment. It’s not recommended to have a long-running XEvent session with the sni_trace XE because it can affect performance.
Status
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
