BI performance counter: Total queries answered

Applies to

SSAS

Description

This performance counter relates to the measurement of Analysis Services storage engine queries. It monitors the total number of queries that were run against Analysis Services since the service was restarted.

The counter includes queries answered directly from the memory cache as well as from files. If this number does not increase, then no queries are being run against your instance. For details of the queries being rendered, you can trace the Query End event in SQL Server Profiler.

  3. Try to use faster storage (SSD) or more disk drives for quicker responses to Storage Engine requests
