Element Type

pool_async_write_time
counter

 

Description:  The total elapsed time spent writing data or index pages from the buffer pool to disk by database manager page cleaners.

Usage:  To calculate the elapsed time spent writing pages synchronously, use the following formula:

 total buffer pool physical write time - buffer pool asynchronous write time

You can also use this element to calculate the average asynchronous read time using the following formula:

 buffer pool asynchronous write time
  / (buffer pool asynchronous data writes + buffer pool asynchronous index writes)

These calculations can be used to understand the I/O work being performed.
