  • I see Buffer Cache page life expectancy is 66 seconds in red alert on my quest spot light.

    Could some one tell me what is the cause for it and how can i get rid of this performance issue.

    That is very low and there can be multiple reasons for this.

    1) Low memory available on the server.

    2) Queries returning large sets of data.

    3) Missing indexes.

    -- Cached SP's By Logical Reads

    SELECT TOP (25) qt.text AS 'SP Name', total_logical_reads,

    qs.execution_count AS 'Execution Count', total_logical_reads/qs.execution_count AS 'AvgLogicalReads',

    qs.execution_count/DATEDIFF(Second, qs.creation_time, GetDate()) AS 'Calls/Second',

    qs.total_worker_time/qs.execution_count AS 'AvgWorkerTime',

    qs.total_worker_time AS 'TotalWorkerTime',

    qs.total_elapsed_time/qs.execution_count AS 'AvgElapsedTime',

    qs.total_logical_writes,

    qs.max_logical_reads, qs.max_logical_writes, qs.total_physical_reads,

    DATEDIFF(Minute, qs.creation_time, GetDate()) AS 'Age in Cache'

    FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats AS qs

    CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(qs.sql_handle) AS qt

    WHERE qt.dbid = db_id() -- Filter by current database

    ORDER BY total_logical_reads DESC;

    -- Missing Indexes for entire instance by Index Advantage

    SELECT user_seeks * avg_total_user_cost * (avg_user_impact * 0.01) AS index_advantage, migs.last_user_seek,

    mid.statement AS [Database.Schema.Table],

    mid.equality_columns, mid.inequality_columns, mid.included_columns,

    migs.unique_compiles, migs.user_seeks, migs.avg_total_user_cost, migs.avg_user_impact

    FROM sys.dm_db_missing_index_group_stats AS migs WITH (NOLOCK)

    INNER JOIN sys.dm_db_missing_index_groups AS mig WITH (NOLOCK)

    ON migs.group_handle = mig.index_group_handle

    INNER JOIN sys.dm_db_missing_index_details AS mid WITH (NOLOCK)

    ON mig.index_handle = mid.index_handle

    ORDER BY index_advantage DESC;
