Comments on: Tips for Using SQL Server Performance Monitor Counters http://www.sql-server-performance.com/2005/sql-server-performance-monitor-coutners/ SQL Server Performance Tuning Fri, 17 May 2013 13:31:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Nathan Sunderman http://www.sql-server-performance.com/2005/sql-server-performance-monitor-coutners/#comment-2098 Nathan Sunderman Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:15:06 +0000 http://www.sql-server-performance.com/?=1018#comment-2098 I think it is backwards, and it does not seem to apply to systems that are using a fixed memory size as both of these counters are showing the same value. Hope this helps!

If, over time, the SQLServer:Memory Manager: Total Server Memory (KB) counter is less than the SQLServer:Memory Manager: Target Server Memory (KB) counter, then this means that SQL Server has enough memory to run efficiently. On the other hand, if the SQLServer:Memory Manager: Total Server Memory (KB) counter is more or equal than the SQLServer:Memory Manager: Target Server Memory (KB) counter, this indicates that SQL Server may be under memory pressure and could use access to more physical memory.
