Finebuild can install and configure Extended Events Manager as part of the SQL Server install process. If you do not want to include Extended Events Manager in your FineBuild install, then do not download it.
Extended Events Manager was produced by Jonathan Kehayias et al. SQL Server Extended Events are a powerful way of troubleshooting problems with SQL Server 2008 and above. Extended Events Manager was chosen to be included in FineBuild because it simplifies creating and viewing metadata for Extended Events Sessions in SQL Server.
Extended Events Manager is no longer supported and is suitable only for SQL 2008 and SQL 2008R2. SSMS v17 and above include Extended Evants facilities and should be used in preference to this component.
