Oracle Autonomous Health Framework (AHF) 25.6 Release Notes Summary

  • Explore Insights reports from the command line: The new Insights subshell lets administrators interactively review a local AHF Insights report without transferring or unzipping it first. Use ahf analysis explore --type insights --report <report-path> to query findings, such as detected events, directly from a terminal.
  • CHM Inline Analysis for longer OS-data retention: AHF automatically processes raw CHM/SHM operating-system metrics hourly and stores compact analyzed results rather than large raw files. This reduces repository use to roughly 100 MB while extending retention from hours to months, making useful OS evidence available for more service requests.
  • Resource-conscious processing: Inline Analysis runs as root with resource limits intended to avoid material impact on system performance while preserving diagnostic value.
  • SHM support for standalone non-root deployments: On Linux Oracle Restart and single-instance environments, AHF can include System Health Monitor data in diagnostic collections and generate OS-focused Insights reports for non-root users.
  • Manual SHM lifecycle in this release: For non-root standalone deployments, users must start and stop SHM themselves with sysmonctl start and sysmonctl stop. Non-root operation gathers metrics through /proc, so its data coverage can differ from a root installation.
