Description
This wait type is only used for databases participating in an Availability Group. When multiple log records can be batched together SQL Server can optimize distribution to replicas by performing a group commit. When SQL Server is waiting for the group commit to complete this wait will accumulate. As this wait type accumulates during an optimization (group commit) values in this counter are expected and do not indicate an issue
