@BrentOzar BrentOzar released this 14 Oct 16:56

In addition to lots of bug fixes and tweaks, here's the new stuff:

sp_Blitz v53.3:

  • @OutputType = 'markdown' (Brent Ozar) - I'm always looking at StackOverflow.com questions and saying to myself, "Man, if I just had the sp_Blitz output for that server, I bet I could answer this." Makes it way easier for people to get help for free.
  • New check for failover cluster health (Matt Tucker) - warning if you don't have failover cluster nodes available in sys.dm_os_cluster_nodes.
  • New check for endpoints owned by user accounts (HBollah)
  • New check for wait stats cleared since startup (Brent Ozar) - useful in combination with @CheckServerInfo = 1, which includes any wait stats that are bottlenecks.
  • Improved Amazon RDS and SQL Server 2005 compatibility (Brent Ozar)

sp_BlitzFirst v25.2:

  • Split what's running now code into new sp_BlitzWho (Ryan Howard) - several folks said they found this section useful on its own. We'll add more into sp_BlitzWho down the road.

sp_BlitzIndex v4.2:

  • Added statistics checks (Erik Darling) - warning about outdated stats and stats with low sample rates.
  • Added database name to multi-db result sets (Brent Ozar) - notable because it's a breaking change if you'd built anything on top of @GetAllDatabases = 1.
