High log activity 

High log activity <number of>pages/second

Explanation

The number of log pages written per time unit is very high. Depending on the capability of the current log disks, the physical writing of the logs may create a bottleneck. For each COMMIT, the entire 4KB log page must be written to the disk even if the page is not full. This means that if there are a lot of short transactions a log page may have to be physically written to the disk multiple times. In a multi-user system, the database system attempts to combine the COMMITS from several application tasks into group commits.

User action

If the measured I/O rate is close to the limit of the log disks, you should consider moving the logs to faster disks.
