Performance Tuning Diagnostics

Diagnostic tools gather and format the following types of performance data:
  • Cumulative statistics:
    • Wait events with time information
      • The raw counts have little meaning until the counts are compared over time. The events that collect the most time tend to be the most important. 
    • Time model
      • The statistics in Oracle Database 11g are correlated by the use of a time model. The time model statistics are based on a percentage of DB time, giving them a common basis for comparison. 
  • Metrics: Statistic rates /count per unit
    • Metrics provide a basis to proactively monitor performance.
    • You can set thresholds on a metric causing an alert to be generated. For example, you can set thresholds for when the reads per millisecond exceed a previously recorded peak value or when the archive log area is 95% full.  
  • Sampled statistics: Active Session History (allow you to look back in time)
    • Statistics by session
    • Statistics by SQL
    • Statistics by service
    • Other dimensions
