Oracle Autonomous Health Framework (AHF) 24.9 Release Notes Summary

  • Performance reports in AHF Insights: A new Performance Reports section embeds PerfHub, AWR, and AWR Compare reports in Insights. Collect the required data with tfactl diagcollect -srdc dbperf -database <db_name>.
  • Additional automated problem detection: Insights can identify node evictions caused by high CPU steal, and database slowdowns caused by undersized network message buffers or incorrect recovery-block settings. It presents the detected problem, cause, and resolution.
  • Enhanced Data Guard readiness: The Data Guard view now calculates switchover and failover readiness, shows database roles and status, displays transport/apply lag and apply rate, and compares primary and standby configurations.
  • Database monitoring without SYSDBA: For Oracle Database 19c and later, AHF can use configured database credentials instead of OS authentication with SYSDBA, reducing that dependency and related audit records.
  • Updated security guidance: Orachk and Exachk integrate DBSAT 3.1 recommendations to provide more current security and compliance best-practice reporting.
  • New best-practice checks: Orachk and Exachk validate SYS/SYSTEM use of the DEFAULT profile, DEFAULT-profile parameters, and EXECUTE privileges granted to PUBLIC.
