Oracle Autonomous Health Framework (AHF) 25.8 Release Notes Summary
- Automated excluded compliance checks: Excluded check IDs can now be managed centrally with
ahf configurationcommands rather than manually maintainingexcluded_check_ids.txton each node. Changes are automatically propagated across the cluster. - Resilient multi-node diagnostic collection: If a remote node’s AHF repository is closed or full, the collection skips that node instead of failing completely. Diagnostics continue for the remaining available nodes.
- Expanded Oracle Database Appliance diagnostics: ODA collections now include RMAN logs, giving support teams better evidence when investigating backup and recovery issues.
- Pluggable database diagnostic support: TFA’s
DBTEXTINSTALLSRDC can collect diagnostics from PDBs, improving troubleshooting coverage for multitenant database environments. - Fleet Insights configuration check for Platinum users: Platinum-role users can verify whether Fleet Insights is configured using
ahf configuration check --type fleet-insights, even when another user completed the setup. - Health Check Collections Manager delivered separately: The optional Oracle Health Check Collections Manager APEX application is no longer bundled in the AHF installer. It is now downloaded separately, reducing installer size and footprint.
- New best-practice check: Orachk adds a check to verify the
DB_BLOCK_CHECKINGparameter on standby databases.
