• The unit is writes/second.

Memory Pages Input/sec

• The number of pages read from the disk to resolve memory references to pages that were not in memory at the time of the reference. This counter includes paging traffic on behalf of the system cache to access file data for applications. This is an important counter to observe if you are concerned about excessive memory pressure (that is, thrashing), and the excessive paging that may result.
• The type is int.
• The unit is pages/second.

Memory Pages Output/sec

• The count of the number of pages that are written to disk because the pages have been modified in main memory.
• The type is int.
• The unit is pages/second.

Memory Pages/sec

• The number of pages read from the disk or written to the disk to resolve memory references to pages that were not in memory at the time of the reference. This is the sum of Pages Input/Sec and Pages Output/Sec attributes. This counter includes paging traffic on behalf of the system cache to access file data for applications. This is the primary counter to observe if you are concerned about excessive memory pressure (that is, thrashing), and the excessive paging that may result.
• The type is int.
• The unit is pages/second.

Memory Pool Nonpaged Allocs

• The number of calls to allocate space in the system nonpaged pool. Nonpaged pool is a system memory area where space is acquired by operating system components as they accomplish their appointed tasks. nonpaged pool pages cannot be paged out to the paging file, but instead remain in main memory as long as they are allocated.
• The type is int.
• The unit is calls.

Memory Pool Paged Allocs

• The number of calls to allocate space in the system paged pool. Paged pool is a system memory area where space is acquired by operating system components as they accomplish their appointed tasks.

• The type is int.
• The unit is calls.

Memory Pool Paged Resident Bytes
