The total number of checkpoints. The total checkpoints
category is further broken down into categories of reasons for
checkpointing. The statistics for these categories are included
in the "AIJ growth," "txn limit," "time limit," "rollback," "AIJ
backup," and "global" subfields.
Note that there may be more reasons for checkpoints than there
are total checkpoints. For example, you might have a total count
of 100 for checkpoints, but when you add the number of checkpoint
reasons ("AIJ growth," "txn limit," "time limit," "rollback,"
"AIJ backup," and "global"), the total could be greater than 100.
This occurs because a single checkpoint may be triggered by more
than one event. For example, a checkpoint may occur because of
time and AIJ file growth. Although the total count columns for
the "interval: seconds" and "interval: AIJ blks" fields are both
incremented by one, the total count column for "checkpoints" is
only incremented by one.
