Measurements made by the test
Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation

Committed memory in use

Indicates the committed bytes as a percentage of the Commit Limit.

Percent

In the event that the host runs out of space, you might want to check the value of this measure to figure out if there are too many old files. If so, then you can use the detailed diagnosis of this test to identify the old files, determine whether you still need the files, and if found useless, remove the files so as to make space in the directory.

Pool nonpaged failures

Indicates the number of times allocations have failed from non paged pool.

Number

Generally, a non-zero value indicates a shortage of physical memory.

Pool paged failures

Indicates the number of times allocations have failed from paged pool.

Number

A non-zero value indicates a shortage of physical memory.

Copy read hits

Indicates the percentage of copy read calls satisfied by reads from the Cache out of all read calls.

Percent

Any value over 80% is excellent.
