• Thank you, IgorMi. Since PLE is just one of performance counters. Do I need to look at other performance counter to determine the memory issue? Or as long as PLE is in good number, that's good enough? I was reading somewhere to use sys.dm_os_ring_buffers to determine the memory pressure. I don't quite understand the result from querying sys.dm_os_ring_buffers table, which make me curious. Sorry if I ask some 'silly' questions. I am kind of new to the sql server performance troubleshooting. Thanks!

    PLE is just one of the many performance counters. Having PLE in 9-13 hours is just a perfect situation. With this results you don't have a memory pressure.
