DATA_HIT_RATIO	The hit ratio of data reads that were satisfied from the buffer pool, without having to perform physical read operations.
DB_NAME	The name of the monitored database.
DBPARTITIONNUM	The database partition from which the data was retrieved for this row.
DIRECT_READ_REQS	The number of requests to perform a direct read of one or more sectors of data. To calculate the average number of sectors read by a direct read, you can use the following formula: DIRECT_READS / DIRECT_READ_REQS
DIRECT_READ_TIME	The elapsed time (in milliseconds) required to perform the direct reads.
DIRECT_READS	The number of read operations that do not use the buffer pool. To calculate the average number of sectors read by a direct read, you can use the following formula: DIRECT_READS / DIRECT_READ_REQS
DIRECT_READS_RATE	The direct reads rate (pages per second).
DIRECT_WRITE_REQS	The number of requests to perform a direct write of one or more sectors of data. To calculate the average number of sectors written by a direct write, you can use the following formula: DIRECT_WRITES / DIRECT_WRITE_REQS
DIRECT_WRITE_TIME	The elapsed time (in milliseconds) required to perform the direct writes.
DIRECT_WRITES	The number of write operations that do not use the buffer pool. To calculate the average number of sectors that written by a direct write, use the following formula: DIRECT_WRITES / DIRECT_WRITE_REQS
DIRECT_WRITES_RATE	The direct writes rate (pages per second).
FILES_CLOSED	The total number of database files closed. The database manager opens files for reading and writing into and out of the buffer pool. The maxfilop configuration parameter controls the maximum number of database files open by an application at any time. If that maximum is about to be reached, a file will be closed before a new one is opened. NOTE: The number of files opened may not equal the number of files closed.
INDEX_HIT_RATIO	The hit ratio of index reads that were satisfied from the buffer pool, without having to perform index physical read operations.
LOG_CLEANS_RATIO	The percentage of LSN gap cleans within the total number of cleans.
LOGICAL_READS	The total number of pages that have been requested from the buffer pool (logical),
LOGICAL_READS_RATE	The number of logical reads (pages) per second during the specified time range.
OVERALL_POOL_HIT_RATIO	The overall hit ratio of logical reads to physical reads. That is, the percentage of database page I/O requests that were satisfied from the buffer cache and, therefore, did not have to perform disk reads. This ratio measures how efficiently DB2 is using the memory allocated to its buffer cache.
PHYSICAL_READS	The number of physical reads (pages). Physical reads are used when a connection requests a page that is not already in the buffer cache. Physical read operations from the disk are necessary when accessing new table or index pages. Nevertheless, these operations should be avoided when possible, as requested pages should reside in the DB2 buffer cache memory.
PHYSICAL_READS_RATE	The number of physical reads (pages) per second during the specified time range.
PHYSICAL_WRITES	The total number of times a buffer pool page was physically written to disk.
PHYSICAL_WRITES_RATE	The number of buffer pool pages physically written to disk per second.
POOL_ASYNC_DATA_READ_REQS	The number of asynchronous read requests made by the prefetcher to the operating system. These are typically large block IOs of multiple pages.

POOL_ASYNC_DATA_WRITES	The number of times a buffer pool data page was physically written to disk by either an asynchronous page cleaner or a prefetcher. A prefetcher may have written dirty pages to disk to make space for the pages being prefetched.

POOL_ASYNC_XDA_WRITES	The number of times a buffer pool data page for an XML storage object (XDA) was physically written to disk by either an asynchronous page cleaner or a prefetcher. A prefetcher may have written dirty pages to disk to make space for the pages being prefetched.

VICTIM_CLEANS_RATIO	The percentage of all page cleans that took place because a synchronous write was needed during the victim buffer replacement for the database. A victim page is a clean or dirty page in the buffer pool that is removed because DB2 needs to make room for incoming pages. If a victim page is a dirty page, then the information must be written out to disk.
