Tracking the Page Allocations

The Page Allocations chart displays the amount of memory allocated to database pages, free pages, and stolen pages over the selected time range (by default, last 60 minutes).

High volume of database pages requested by SQL Server can sometimes indicate that data is not properly indexed or that the query optimizer is not using the most efficient index.

Free pages values that are consistently close to zero may indicate use of inefficient queries, or shortage of SQL Server cache memory. The value of the Free Pages metric is calculated as follows: <free pages> * 8K / 1024. For details, see Free pages on page 194.

Constantly high value of stolen pages (pages that were taken from the buffer cache to satisfy other memory requests) may indicate an overall system memory shortage. For details, see Stolen pages on page 208.

Monitoring the Buffer Cache Hit Rates

The Buffer Cache Hit Rates chart displays the buffer cache hit rate over the specified time range.

The buffer cache hit rate is the rate of logical reads being satisfied from the buffer cache, saving the need to carry out physical reads.

The buffer cache contains database, free, and stolen pages, and its size is calculated as follows: <pages> * 8 K / 1024.

The buffer cache hit rate should normally exceed 90%; hit rate values that are constantly lower than 90% may result from extensive data operations, due to inefficient query planning.

Monitoring Plan Cache-related Data

The Plan Cache panel displays information about the SQL Server's plan cache, which holds execution plans for stored procedures, triggers, ad hoc SQL, and so on. This panel can be used for tracking the plan cache hit rate, and, if the rate it too low, investigate which object plans are used frequently.

The various panes of the Plan Cache panel allow carrying out the tasks described in the following sections:

•
Monitoring the Plan Cache
•
Reviewing Statistics about Plan Cache Objects

Reviewing Object Types

SQL Server 2005 and later objects

In SQL Server 2005 and later versions, the following object types can appear in the chart:

•
Bound Trees — normalized trees for views, rules, computed columns, and check constraints. For details, see glossary definition of Bound trees on page 187.
•
Extended Stored Procedures — a SQL Server object that dynamically loads and runs a function within a dynamic-link library (DLL) in a manner similar to a stored procedure. For details, see glossary definition of Extended stored procedures on page 192.
•
Object Plans — query plans generated by creating a stored procedure, function, or trigger. For details, see glossary definition of Object plans on page 200.
•
Replication Procedure Plans — query plans of a replication system stored procedure. For details, see glossary definition of Replication procedure plans on page 205.
•
SQL Plans — query plans corresponding to statements prepared using sp_prepare, sp_cursorprepare, or using auto-parameterization. For details, see glossary definition of SQL Plans on page 207.
•
Temporary Tables and Table Variables — temporary tables are session-specific tables, that is, the tables are automatically dropped when the session is closed. Table variables, on the other hand, are created in the memory and exist there until the running of a single Transact-SQL (T-SQL) batch is completed. For details, see glossary definition of Temporary tables and table variables on page 208.
