| Field name | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| _BiLog-BOBufHit | INT64 | Number of input buffer hits. |
| _BiLog-BBuffWaits | INT64 | Number of times a process waited for a buffer that was busy. |
| _BiLog-BIWWrites | INT64 | Number of writes to the BI file performed by the before-image writer (BIW). For good performance, this number should be high in relation to the total number of BI writes. |
| _BiLog-BytesRead | INT64 | Number of bytes of data read from the BI file. |
| _BiLog-BytesWrtn | INT64 | Number of bytes of data written to the BI file. |
| _BiLog-ClstrClose | INT64 | Number of BI clusters filled and closed in preparation for reuse. |
| _BiLog-EBuffWaits | INT64 | Number of times a process waited because all buffers were full. |
| _BiLog-ForceWaits | INT64 | Number of waiting-for-commit records to be written to disk. |
| _BiLog-ForceWrts | INT64 | Number of waiting-for-commit records written to disk. |

| _BiLog-ModBufHit | INT64 | Number of modified buffer hits. |
| _BiLog-OutputBufHit | INT64 | Number of output buffer hits. |
| _BiLog-PartialWrts | INT64 | Number of writes to the BI file made before the BI buffer is full. |
| _BiLog-RecRead | INT64 | Number of BI records (notes) read from the BI file. |
| _BiLog-RecWriten | INT64 | Number of BI records (notes) written to the BI file. |
| _BiLog-TotalWrts | INT64 | Number of total writes to the BI file. |
| _BiLog-TotReads | INT64 | Number of BI blocks read from the BI file to undo transactions. |
