The I/O Times tab on the Buffer Pool Analysis drilldown contains graphs that let you visually monitor average I/O times and buffer pool hit ratios for a buffer pool. The four graphs track the following:
Average amount of time spent on direct I/O.
Average amount of time spent on asynchronous I/O.
Average amount of time spent on physical I/O.
Buffer pool hit ratios.
All four graphs use counter data to show statistics as they change over time. This allows you to see when average I/O times are high and buffer pool hit ratios are low for a buffer pool.
Consistently high I/O times can be a symptom of I/O conflict. Consistently low hit ratios can be a sign that a buffer pool is not operating efficiently. Both problems degrade performance. To identify applications that are contributing to I/O conflict, work from the Client Application Analysis drilldown. To investigate buffer pool conditions, work from the Buffer Pool Analysis drilldown.
