sql profiler monitor page splits per sec

  • Hi can sql profiler be used to monitor page split per sec on sql server 2000 and sql server 2008?

    any advise how to do it?

  • I dont think you want to use SQL Profiler to monitor page splits per second. I think you will have more success using Performance Manager.

    Administrative tools> Reliability and Performance. Expand Data Colelctor Sets, then go to User Defined, right click- New>Data Collector Set> create manually> Peformance Counter>Add> SQL Server Access Methods: Page Splits/sec

    OK, NEXT, FINISH

  • Just bear in mind that's not actually page splits (in the sense of SQL splitting a full page). Any page allocations into the index get counted against that.
