Description:  Indicates the number of logical read requests for index pages that have gone through the buffer pool.

Usage:  This count includes accesses to index pages that are:

In conjunction with "Buffer Pool Index Physical Reads", you can calculate the index page hit ratio for the buffer pool using one of the following:

 
 1 - (buffer pool index physical reads / buffer pool index logical reads)

To calculate the overall buffer pool hit ratio, see "Buffer Pool Data Logical Reads".

If the hit ratio is low, increasing the number of buffer pool pages may improve performance. See the Administration Guide for more information about buffer pool size.
