Oracle database monitoring involves tracking business critical KPIs, monitoring server health and availability, identifying poorly performing queries and deadlocks, resolving incidents like bottlenecks and high wait time before the server performance is affected.
You can strategize with your Oracle database monitoring techniques to suit your IT requirements. Here is a head start:
- Draw real-time data on key performance indicators like data request traffic, connections attempts, database operations, jobs, processes, and transactions.
- Analyze resource utilization trends for crucial resources like memory, storage, locks, and SQL queries.
- Identify performance anomalies and resolve them before the end user experiences a slowdown.
- Forecast future requirements based on historic trends to stay prepared for the future.
Monitoring key elements like connections and queries help you point out connection leaks and time-consuming queries that eat up excess resources. Incidents like deadlocks and high wait time cause locks and queries to consume a significant amount of memory. Tracking locks, queries, connections, back-ups, and indexes help you identify the exceeded resource usage and resolve incidents effectively.
You can also trace the traffic trends to pinpoint peak workload hours and study resource consumption during the peak. This would help you identify peak resource consumption. Accommodating for peak resource necessity will help you avoid resource starvation in the shorter run.
But if you want to stay supple for the longer run, you should analyze historic data on resource consumption trends and forecast server requirements for capacity and resources. This helps you stay ahead of potential resource outages and imbalances in workload distribution.
