Buffer Pools Dashboard

Buffer Pools Dashboard

The Buffer Pools dashboard provides performance details for cache operations. This dashboard contains the following:

•
Data Cache Activity Tab
•
Buffer Pools Activity Tab
•
Procedure Cache Activity Tab
•
Data Caches Spinlocks Tab

Data Cache Activity Tab

Data Cache Activity Tab

Data Cache can be divided to Buffer Pools with different I/O sizes.

The cache objects shown in this table are determined by the values set for the following Sybase_MDA agent properties:

•
Cached Objects - Max Rows Returned
•
Cached Objects - Minimum Threshold Value
•
Cached Objects - Sort Criteria

For more information, see Setting Data Retrieval Properties .

Data cache information is provided in a table and charts:

•
Data Cache Activity Table
This table includes two Data Cache Activity Buttons, which provide a simple way to find peaks times.
•

“Dirty” Buffer Retrievals

The number of dirty buffer retrievals.

Time Range Period:

Hit Rate

The number of times per second a requested page was found and therefore not read into the named cache for the selected time range.

You can drill down by clicking on any field in this column. A popup appears showing the following three values, plotted over time:

•
Reads for this device.
•
APFs (Asynchronous Prefetch Activity) reads for this device.
•
Writes for this device.

Avg. Hit Rate %

The average percentage of times a requested page was found and therefore not read into the named cache for the selected time range.

Avg. Cache Hits (buffers) per sec

The average number of cache hits per second for the selected time range.

Avg. Cache Hits (buffers) count

The average number of cache hits for the selected time range.

Avg. Cache Misses (buffers) per sec

Name
Description

Cache Name

The name of the cache.

Name

The name of the data cache object.

Index ID

The identifier of the index. If this value is:

•
zero, then the table is cached
•
greater than zero, then the index is cached.

DB Name

The database name.

Cached (MB)

The amount of cached memory in megabytes.

Total Size (MB)

The total size of the cached object in the database in megabytes.

NOTE: This field only shows data for Sybase version 15 and later.

Percent Cached

The percentage of the total object's size that is cached memory.

NOTE: This field only shows data for Sybase version 15 and later.

Process Accessing

The number of processes currently accessing the object.
