Existe uma forma “hardcore” para acompanhar todas as alocações de memória no SQL Server. Podemos criar um pacote XEvent e acompanhar o evento “XeSosPkg::page_allocated” e gerar um stack trace (stack dump). Por exemplo, nas alocações de memória na procedure sp_xml_preparedocument, observamos as alocações de memória realizadas pelo componente MSXMLSQL.

Nem sempre é possível utilizar stack traces para acompanhar o consumo de memória. Por isso, existe uma série de mecanismos (Broker, Clerks, MemObj) que auxiliam na tarefa de monitoração de recursos.
