Throughput / Skew Monitor

Purpose

Skew monitor view presents data useful in assessing skew in access patterns. When a query accesses more data on some members than on others, the more heavily loaded members become bottlenecks, making the whole query take longer.

Member

The numeric identifier for the database member from which the data was retrieved for this result record.

Cpu time

The total amount of CPU time used while within the database system.

Source: MON_GET_SERVICE_SUBCLASS(NULL, NULL, #MEMBER#).SUM(TOTAL_CPU_TIME)


Logical reads

Indicates the number of data, index, and column-organized pages which have been requested from the buffer pool (logical) for regular, large and temporary table spaces.


Logical temp reads

Indicates the number of data, index, and column-organized pages which have been requested from the buffer pool (logical) for temporary table spaces.


Rows read

The number of rows read from the table.

Source: MON_GET_SERVICE_SUBCLASS(NULL, NULL, #MEMBER#).SUM(ROWS_READ)


Rows modified

The number of rows inserted, updated, or deleted.
