Measures reported by DbLogQueueTest

The log queue is the main memory area, in which redo log entries from the transactions are stored. The DbLogQueueTest monitors the usage of the log queue.

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Queue_max_used The maximum number of transactions written to the log queue Number  
Log_entries_inserted The number of log entries inserted into the queue in the last measurement period Number  
Queue_overflow The number of wait situations that arose due to log queue overflows in the last measurement period Number If the log queue becomes full before log pages are written to the log area, then a log queue overflow occurs. If the value of this measure keeps increasing, you might want to consider altering the log queue size by resetting the LOG_IO_QUEUE parameter.
Group_commits The number of log pages whose writing was waited for by more than one transaction, in the last measurement period Number  
Log_queue_transactions The number of transactions waiting to write in the log queue in the last measurement period Number  
Max_waits_per_page The maximum number of transactions that simultaneously waited for the same page to be written Number A high value of this measure could cause undue delays in transaction execution.
Physical_write_rate The rate at which log pages were written to the log area Writes/Sec
