Oracle Autonomous Health Framework (AHF) 25.1 Release Notes Summary

  • Automated problem analysis: AHF Insights adds detection and recommended resolutions for node evictions caused by NIC flow-control issues; instance evictions caused by growing process memory or RDS/IB misconfiguration; and slow databases caused by archiver configuration or undersized redo logs.
