re: Beware of SQL Server and PerfMon differences in disk latency calculation
That's right, you can easily "back in" to the total latency per sample by multiplying the avg sec per IO times the number of IOs for the same interval. These samples can then be added up and divided by...

Patent application is really funny read - seems like same English language but so much different :-).Greg, do you have historical analysis module in your tool or it contains only real-time monitoring?...

#1. You're right, just converted milliseconds to seconds.#2. I see you point. But that's not the way you usually work with PerfMon. You don't take 2 snapshots (and as far as I understand you have to...

#1: Not sure I follow exactly, but I'm converting avg ms per IO to avg seconds per IO to keep in sync with the Perflib counter which uses seconds, not ms.#2: It's not influenced by sample frequency. If...

Hi Greg,You're of course right, that's pure math. But 2 points:1. Your counter isn't "Disc sec\write" but "Disc sec\write\sec".2. Thinking straightforward, you don't expect "disc sec\write" counter to...

Hi Michael,I wanted to point out that you can easily convert the sys.dm_io_virtual_file_stats data to the same numbers as PerfMon using this formula:(x2 – x1) / (y2 – y1) / 1000Where:x1 = io_stall_ms...

Greg, there is more than one perspective here. As a consultant, I need some "quick and dirty" diagnostics tools that can pinpoint problems without spending much time on capturing and analyzing traces....

Interesting article. The main reason for using io_virtual_file_stats vs perfmon is to try to obtain information at the database file level vs the whole disk or volume level. Ideally we would be able to...

Hi GregJust wanted to make sure regarding the formula x1 = io_stall_ms start value x2 = io_stall_ms end valueWhat does it mean start and end values? It has io_stall_read_ms?
