Then you definitely want server-side info. The DB server's the one who
knows who's waiting on whom. See if your DBA can help you with the
specifics; this will be bread-and-butter monitoring work for him.
Automating it might require some tweaking, but if he's at all
competent at his job, he'll know how to figure out (if manually)
what's blocking an important query.
