Oracle Autonomous Health Framework (AHF) 23.6 Release Notes Summary

  • Aggregated network visibility: AHF Insights adds an Aggregated NICs view that combines receive/transmit rates, errors, packet counts, and drop rates across network interfaces, making abnormalities easier to spot system-wide.
  • Cross-host process metrics: A new Process metrics tab displays process counts, blocked and D-state processes, CPU-running processes, and file-descriptor totals for all hosts on comparative charts.
  • Fresh, uncached Insights reports: The ahf analysis create --type insights --refresh option bypasses cached data to capture current information, at the cost of a longer collection time.
  • Exadata X10M support: AHF and Exachk add full support for Oracle Exadata X10M, including relevant server, flash-cache, storage-controller, and Platinum-certification checks.
  • Native ARM support: AHF now supports ARM architectures for cloud and on-premises deployments.
  • Move AHF diagnostic storage without reinstalling: The new ahfctl movedatadir <new_directory> command relocates the AHF data directory—containing logs, compliance results, and collections—without requiring an uninstall and reinstall.
  • New Orachk check: Orachk adds validation for the number of inactive patches in a database home.
