Measures reported by MsSqlQueryWaitTest

This test monitors the wait types on the Microsoft SQL server, and reports the number and duration of waits of each type.

The measures reported by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
No_of_wait_type Indicates the total number of waits for each wait type. Number The detailed diagnosis of this measure provides the query that caused the waits; you may want to fine-tune the queries to reduce the number of waits.
Avg_of_wait_time Indicates the average wait time for each wait type. Secs Ideally, the value for this measure should be low. If the value for this measure is high, use the detailed diagnosis of the Num of waits measure to identify the queries that are causing the waits to remain for a long time. You may want to finetune the queries to reduce wait time.
Max_of_wait_time Indicates the maximum wait time for each wait type. Secs Comparing the value of this measure across wait types will enable you to accurately isolate the wait type that is responsible for the longest waits.
