Author Transactions/sec Counter
Benjamin Nevarez

2005-04-05, 8:01 pm


Hello All,

I want to store and analyze the information on performance objects/counters
like 'Transactions/sec' and 'Batch Requests/sec'. When I use
Performace/System Monitor it shows values like Average 9.464 but if I run
queries like

select * from sysperfinfo
where object_name = 'SQLServer:Databases
'
and counter_name = 'Transactions/sec'
and instance_name = '_Total'

select * from sysperfinfo
where object_name = 'SQLServer:SQL Statistics'
and counter_name = 'Batch Requests/sec'

then I see values like 16481022. What are these numbers (like 16481022)? How
can I get the 9.464 (shown in System Monitor) from the sysperfinfo table?

Thanks,

Benjamin Nevarez

Most of the counters in sysperfinfo are cumulative and you must take a delta
to make sense of them.

Lumigents Log Explorer has a great TPS counter.

This is interesting. But what is really that number? The number of
transactions since when? Since the server started? Is this documented
somewhere?

Thanks,

Ben

I believe it is since the server was last started. Other than booksonline
for sysperfinfo I don't know if there is anything else. If you don't want
to deal with the deltas then use perfmon.
