This is a modified limited release.

After a few new feature releases, we're achieving stasis.

There are a couple points from the last release that I really need to emphasize:

  1. sp_BlitzCache got some new columns added to the output for tempdb spills. If you want to keep logging it to a table either by itself, or as part of sp_BlitzFirst, you need to either drop the table and let sp_BlitzCache recreate it, or run this command to add the new columns:

ALTER TABLE dbo.YourTable ADD MinSpills BIGINT, MaxSpills BIGINT, TotalSpills BIGINT, AvgSpills MONEY

  1. If you're running 2017, you NEED TO BE ON CU3 for sp_BlitzCache to run. This is too important of a CU for y'all to be skipping. I'd be doing you a disservice by writing in minor version checks at this early point in the release process.

sp_Blitz Improvements

#1382 @RichBenner went to the mall and balled too hard. When he came back, he brought us a check for stacked instances. Ah, the lovely things you can find with xp_regread
#1393 @elsimer Fixed my fat fingered attempt at fixing XE session names. Apparently Microsoft meant to have one with a space in the name. Ho hum.

sp_BlitzCache Improvements

#1379 Added analysis for tempdb spills. I got so caught up in adding the new sort order, I totally brain farted on adding checks. A smart person would have implemented the easy part first. I am not that smart person.
#1380 Corrected the math used to calculate average spill size. See above comment.

#1398 Added a proc level recompile hint.
#1395 Added filters to the checks for available proc variables. Not every check can be filtered by every variable, so counts may look a little wonky. We'll see how it goes. If this is good enough, I'll leave it. Otherwise, I may move to using a wide table to do all checks from.
