Display Name	Description
Forwarded Records	The total number of records that were retrieved by SQL Server during the specified time range. When a row in a table that does not have a clustering index is updated, and if the modified row no longer fits on the old page, SQL Server moves the row to a new page and leaves a forwarding pointer in the old page. As a result, the non-clustered indexes do not have to be modified to reflect the new row location, but will cause subsequent retrieval of this row, by means of non-clustered indexes to require an extra I/O. A high Forwarded Records rate can indicate a need for reorganizing tables (unloading/reloading) or defining clustered indexes.
Free Space Scans	The number of scans initiated to search for free space to insert a new record.
Full Scans	The number of unrestricted full scans per second (either base-table or full-index scans).
Index Searches	The number of index searches per second. These searches are used to start a range scan, reposition a range scan, revalidate a scan point, fetch a single index record, and search down the index to locate where to insert a new row.
Page Allocations	The total number of pages that were allocated to tables or indexes during the specified time range. This metric indicates how fast tables are expanding.
Page Allocations Rate	The rate per second at which pages are allocated to tables or indexes.
Page Deallocations	The total number of pages that were deallocated from tables or indexes during the specified time range. This metric indicates how fast tables are shrinking.
Page Deallocations Rate	The rate per second at which pages are deallocated from tables or indexes.
Page Splits	The number of page splits that took place within the defined time range. Page splitting occurs when an index or data page becomes full and then is split between the existing page and a newly allocated page. Excess page splitting can lead to I/O performance issues. High and increasing values may indicate that either the indexes needs to be rebuilt and / or the indexes fill factor should be increased.
Page Splits vs Page Writes	The ratio of page splits per writes. When an index or data page becomes full during an insert operation, data is split between the current page and a newly allocated page. Excessive page splitting can result in excessive disk I/O, thereby contributing to performance degradation. Higher values of this metric indicate that page splitting affects the monitored application's I/O performance. To resolve this issue, check your database file configuration, the selected index fill factor, and the rate at which your transactions are committed.
Probe Scans	The number of probe scans. A probe scan is used to directly look up rows in an index or base table.
Range Scans	The number of qualified range scans through indexes.
Skipped Ghosted Records	The total number of ghosted records that were encountered by SQL Server during scans over the specified time range. When a record is deleted from a table, SQL Server improves concurrency by not physically removing the row from index leaf levels, but marking it instead as deleted (ghosted). At some later point, a housekeeping process asynchronously removes these rows from the leaf level. Until the records are removed, SQL Server must skip the ghosted records during leaf-level scans.
Skipped Ghosted Records Rate	The rate per second at which SQL Server encounters ghosted records during scans.
Table Lock Escalations	The number of times a lock on a table has been escalated during the specified time range. Lock escalation is not necessarily a problem by itself; however, it can cause concurrency issues and lock conflicts, and can be a major contributor to blocking problems and deadlocks.
