Oracle Autonomous Health Framework (AHF) 24.8 Release Notes Summary

  • Shareable Problem Summaries and new automated detections: AHF Problem Summaries can now be copied as plain text. Insights also detects node evictions from IP reassembly failures or PGA configuration issues; slowdowns from DB Writer configuration or target_pdbs latch contention; and database blocks from archive-log space shortages or I/O errors.
  • More precise Timeline and OS analysis: Insights Timeline now supports millisecond-level timestamps, event-detail tooltips, and zooming. When no OS issue is detected, the OS Issues view redirects directly to data analysis.
  • Major Data Guard improvements: The refreshed Data Guard interface adds switchover/failover readiness, database-symmetry information, wait-event analysis, and a consolidated Additional Details page for configuration and property changes.
  • Additional performance reports in Insights: AWR, AWR Compare, and PerfHub reports can now be viewed from the Insights report, making it easier to correlate AHF findings with workload and SQL performance data.
  • Faster Insights UI: Oracle JET was updated to 16.0.1 and migrated to a Virtual DOM architecture, improving report load time, rendering responsiveness, and error handling.
  • Disaster-recovery-aware AHF Balance: CPU recommendations now account for standby databases becoming primary during a disaster, helping avoid under-sized CPU_COUNT settings and noisy-neighbor risks.
  • New Exachk best-practice check: Exachk adds the Exadata critical-issue check DB54.
