We have extended event definitions on all our non-prod servers, primarily to aid with debugging and development. At any point we can look to see a list of almost-real-time stored procedure calls.The problem is, it's cumbersome to go through object explorer, find the server, expand the tree, and work our way into the Extended Events node, right-click our session and choose "Watch Live Data" (or otherwise access the data from the session).Is there an easier way?I think I could try to run a query and parse the XML, but that, too, is cumbersome in its own way (I don't particularly care for working with xml path). I use AutoHotKey religiously, and tried to set up a SendKeys macro to navigate through the object explorer tree, but I failed miserably. (In the olde days, I'd hit Ctrl+Alt+NumPad to fire up Profiler, connect to an instance, and start displaying data... all automated, up and going in about 3 seconds. I'm trying to wean myself off trace and use extended events)I welcome any suggestions!
