Recently we got this alert from monitoring team.

> 
> SQLServer:General Statistics Logins/sec has exceeded the threshold of
>  2
>

I tried to know a bit about it and if the value is less than

> 
> 2 per second indicates that the application is not correctly using connection pooling.
>

What does Application is not correctly using the connection pooling -- What does it mean ? 

And few DMVs might help to find out the Logins/sec like the session\_id and application

```
sys.dm_exec_sessions 
sys.dm_exec_connections 
sys.dm_exec_requests

```

But I am not able to connect the link between the Logins/sec and session ids.
Can anyone help me to understand how to deal with performace counters and does number of connections = number of session\_ids (SPIDs) ,is this true ...Please help.

Thanks.
