Oracle Autonomous Health Framework (AHF) 24.5 Release Notes Summary

  • AHF Balance reports for Enterprise Manager groups: The new --em-group option lets administrators generate a fleet-level AHF Balance report for an Oracle Enterprise Manager cluster group, supporting wider resource-optimization analysis.
  • Smaller, faster TFA collections: TFA can filter redundant small trace files using configurable size thresholds. This reduces diagnostic collection and redaction time, as well as storage use; filtering is off by default.
  • Data Guard Health Reports in Insights: Insights now includes Data Guard configuration, health metrics, log-switch heatmaps, archive-log sizes, and process CPU utilization, consolidating data previously gathered from several sources.
  • First-failure system-health metrics: Administrators can configure AHF to automatically capture CPU, memory, and I/O-consumer data at the time of a failure and include it in diagnostic collections.
  • Automatic Dom0 discovery: AHF compliance checks can automatically discover relevant nodes and switches on KVM Dom0 hosts, reducing manual configuration.
  • Dedicated Security section in reports: Orachk and Exachk now group security-related best-practice checks in a single section, making security review more direct.
  • New best-practice checks: Orachk and Exachk validate Clusterware patch metadata, Data Guard transport and apply lag (≤30 seconds), and Data Guard readiness for failover and switchover.
