In Session History, you can see what has been performed in a specific session during the query period. It provides information that allows you to check how much resource has been used for SQL for a long-running session and analyze the causes.

  • Memory: You can see the change trend in memory usage through the chart.

  • Disk I/O: You can see the change trend in disk usage through the chart.
