Oracle Autonomous Health Framework (AHF) 25.9 Release Notes Summary

  • Updated security best-practice guidance: Orachk and Exachk now integrate DBSAT 4.0.0 recommendations, providing more current security and compliance insights in AHF best-practice reports.
  • Simplified retrieval of compliance reports: The new ahf data get-latest-reports --type compliance command gathers the latest full and Tier 1 compliance HTML reports from cluster nodes onto the local node.
  • Improved Exadata DomU alert collection: Default tfactl diagcollect collections now include alert_history_detail.txt, capturing Management Server and dbmcli alerts from the prior seven days.
  • Configuration-driven scan-file monitoring: Scan File Entity selection is now controlled through the external file_monitor_config.json file rather than hard-coded mappings, making it easier to maintain and extend.
  • Better OneView collection metrics: TFA records log-collection and upload durations in its monitoring JSON, helping OneView identify collection bottlenecks.
  • Response files always collected: TFA now includes database and Grid Infrastructure .rsp response files regardless of the selected collection time range, ensuring relevant installation configuration is available.
  • OneView database pre-check: TFA verifies that the specified database is running locally before processing a OneView request, improving SRDC reliability.
  • More efficient Insights ZIP handling: With -nocopy or OneView collections, TFA avoids transferring the full collection ZIP to the initiating node.
  • New best-practice check: Orachk and Exachk add validation for kernel-space and user-space core-dump configuration.
