Oracle Autonomous Health Framework (AHF) 25.7 Release Notes Summary

  • Enhanced Data Guard Insights: The Insights report now shows database state and properties, adds a Data Guard Details page, highlights unusually frequent log switches, and includes a Transport Network Utilization chart.
  • Improved diagnostic collections: AHF handles files larger than 1 GB more intelligently, includes Exachk JSON output alongside HTML, inventories rotated kernel and messages logs, and supports a partial-success health state for OneView pre-checks.
  • More targeted troubleshooting data: DNFS collections now include oranfstab from both standard locations. ORA-1555 diagnostics can collect data from the affected PDB rather than only at CDB scope.
  • Better collection search filters: tfactl print collections adds time-range, date/time, and node filters, making it easier to find completed collections.
  • Private-memory comparison in Orachk: The CHM analysis adds a private-memory (pmem) difference view, derived from RSS minus shared memory. It compares aggregate and process-level memory changes between selected periods.
  • Python library for TFA communication: A new AHF-IPC library lets Python clients interact with the TFA daemon through a defined API, avoiding subprocess and low-level protocol handling.
  • New best-practice checks: Orachk and Exachk add standby checks for DB_BLOCK_CHECKSUM and DB_LOST_WRITE_PROTECT; Orachk also verifies the fix for bug 35454504.
