Monitoring Deadlocks in Azure SQL Managed Instance

This helpful post by Bradley Ball outlines three different ways to monitor deadlocks, including SQL Server Profiler, Extended Events, and querying the system_health Extended Events session.

SQL Server Profiler can capture detailed deadlock graphs, which provide a visualization of the deadlock and are useful for analyzing and resolving deadlocks.

The author shares that in the case of SQL one transaction is a deadlock victim, it is killed and the transaction is rolled back. So if this is occurring on your system fixing it is very important.
