Using
Use this metric to understand log reader activity. A large number can indicate that large amounts of log data are being processed.
If this number is high, and the amount of data replicated is low, it means that CDC Replication is filtering out most information from the log.
If the number is low, it can indicate that there have been few changes in the database.
