### Example metric
_This collector does not yet have explained examples, we would appreciate your help adding them!_
Query Full table scans
```
rate(windows_mssql_accessmethods_full_scans{instance='host:9182'}[$__rate_interval])
```
## Useful queries
### Database file size
This collector retrieves the two values (data file and log file) and sums the total in PromQL to give the Database file size.
```
windows_mssql_databases_data_files_size_bytes{database='DatabaseName',instance='host:9182'} + windows_mssql_databases_log_files_size_bytes{database='DatabaseName',instance='host:9182'}
```
### Buffer Cache Hit Ratio
When you read the counter in perfmon you will get the the percentage pages found in the buffer cache. This percentage is calculated internally based on the total number of cache hits divided by the total number of cache lookups over the last few thousand page accesses.
