Deadlock graph explainer

Paste a SQL Server deadlock XML graph. Get a plain-English read of the victim, the other session(s), the contested resources, and what to check next. No email. Nothing is uploaded.

How to capture the XML

  1. From an Extended Events xml_deadlock_report, open the deadlock report and copy the XML.
  2. Or in SSMS: open a deadlock graph → right-click → Show Deadlock Graph / View XML → copy the document.
  3. Paste below. Prefer the full deadlock-list / deadlock document.

Paste may include object names and SQL text. It is processed only in this browser tab.
