Extended Events wait_type value:
Maps to the SERVER_IDLE_LOCK map_value in sys.dm_xe_map_values (thanks to Jonathan’s post here).
The map_key value in sys.dm_xe_map_values is 259 in 2008 and 2008 R2, 266 in 2012, and 273 in 2014 RTM. After 2014 RTM, you must check the DMV to get the latest value as some map_key values have changed in later builds.
Other information:
