Thanks. I checked columns' descriptions of other views. There are "Number of xxx", "Total number of xxx", "Total amount of time that xxx" and "Total time spent xxx". Since the "time" is used for showing spending time, not count, I'll change it to "Total number of WAL data written/synced to disk". Thought? Regards, -- Masahiro Ikeda NTT DATA CORPORATION
