Wait Monitoring
SQL Server wait statistics refer to the amount of time that a SQL Server process spends waiting on certain types of events or resources before it can complete its work. These events or resources could include things like locks on database objects, network communication, or access to disk storage. By monitoring wait statistics, you can get a better understanding of what might be causing performance issues for your SQL Server, and take steps to address the underlying problems. For example, if you see that a particular query is spending a lot of time waiting for locks, you could try optimizing the query or increasing the number of available locks to improve performance.
