The Session Statistics report lets you view trends for sessions and network connectivity, such as transactions per minute, on a monitored SQL Server instance over a specified period of time. Check Show Tabular Data to display results in a single tabular or grid format and check Show Baseline to include baseline data points in the Session Statistics report. For additional information about baseline configuration, see Configure server baseline options.

The Session Statistics report displays the following graphs: User Processes and Computers, Logins per Minute, Network Packets per Minute, Transactions per Minute, and Oldest Open Transaction (minutes).

When to run this report

You should run the Session Statistics report to analyze the sessions and network connectivity for a monitored instance. High logins or transactions per minute may indicate a need for increased resources.
