The following sample shows sp_sysmon output for the “Data Cache Management” categories. The first block of data, “Cache Statistics Summary,” includes information for all caches. sp_sysmon reports a separate block of data for each cache. These blocks are identified by the cache name. The sample output shown here includes only the default data cache, although there were more caches configured during the interval.
