log_writes - Number of Log Pages Written monitor element

The number of log pages written to disk by the logger.

Table 1. Snapshot Monitoring Information
Snapshot Level	Logical Data Grouping	Monitor Switch
Database	dbase	Basic

For snapshot monitoring, this counter can be reset.

Table 2. Event Monitoring Information
Event Type	Logical Data Grouping	Monitor Switch
Database	event_db	-

Usage: You may use this element with an operating system monitor to quantify the amount of I/O on a device that is attributable to database activity.
Note: When log pages are written to disk, the last page might not be full. In such cases, the partial log page remains in the log buffer, and additional log records are written to the page. Therefore log pages might be written to disk by the logger more than once. You should not use this element to measure the number of pages produced by DB2®.
