SQL Server, General Statistics Object
The SQLServer:General Statistics object in Microsoft SQL Server provides counters to monitor general server-wide activity, such as the number of current connections and the number of users connecting and disconnecting per second from computers running an instance of SQL Server. This can be useful when you are working on large online transaction processing (OLTP) type systems where there are many clients connecting and disconnecting from an instance of SQL Server.
This table describes the SQL Server General Statistics counters.
