Thank you for the article.

I have been struggling to figure out what each of the metrics means in the SQL Sentry Performance Advisor dashboard, and I must admit I am a little lost.

Let's take for example the "Page Reads/Writes" graph (History mode) in the SQL SERVER MEMORY section.

I take it these are Reads/Writes from disk(?), which would indicate memory pressure? Is this correct?

I wish there was some documentation on how to best make use of this tool to detect performance issues.

What I would find really useful would be a chart listing the system monitor counters used for each graph.

Anyone have any suggestions?
