Explore Diagnostic Insights

Autonomous Health Framework Insights (AHF Insights) provides deeper diagnostic insights into Oracle diagnostic collections collected by AHF diagnostic utilities, Oracle Exachk, Oracle Trace File Analyzer, Exawatcher, and Cluster Health Monitor.

AHF Insights is bundled with AHF installer package. You do not need to run a web server to host this site.

Note:

The current version is supported on Linux only.

Introduction to AHF Insights

AHF Insights is a web-based, offline diagnostic reporting interface that consolidates configuration, topology, metrics, logs, and analyzer results into a unified view for system assessment and root-cause analysis. It identifies system state, operating-system anomalies, best-practice gaps, traces, and selected corrective actions. Generate a report with ahf analysis create --type insights, optionally specifying a time range, then transfer and extract the resulting ZIP file and open its index.html file in a web browser.

Ahf Insights Supported Platforms

AHF Insights is supported with standard AHF installations on Oracle Linux, but not with standalone AHF, ARM Linux, zLinux, Windows, Solaris, HP-UX, or AIX installations. It can be included in diagnostic collections when autoInsights is enabled, including supported SRDCs and selected automatic error events involving database hangs, crashes, performance, RAC, Exadata, Data Guard, ASM, Clusterware, and operating-system resource issues. The maareview collection can additionally include Exachk, AWR, Exawatcher, capacity-planning, and Data Guard or Active Data Guard information.

Ahf Insights - Home

The Home page summarizes the report’s system state, type, time range, topology, and collected diagnostic information, with selectable items that open detailed views. It provides topology sections for clusters, databases, database servers, storage servers, and fabric switches, along with insights covering database anomalies, Data Guard, timelines, operating-system issues, best-practice compliance, system changes, recommended software, Management Server data, RPMs, database and kernel parameters, space usage, and performance reports. Navigation supports multiple open items, keyboard movement, return-to-top, closing views, and feedback submission.

System Topology

System Topology presents cluster and infrastructure details, with Fabric Switches and Storage Servers shown only in Exadata environments. The Cluster section summarizes system, Grid Infrastructure, incidents, databases, servers, storage, and fabric resources, and provides expandable cluster-resource and ASM details, including status, disk groups, and utilization. Databases show instances, PDBs, and tablespaces; database, storage, and fabric server sections provide sortable infrastructure information. Starting with AHF 23.8, cluster, database, server, storage, and fabric details can be copied as text or snippets for inclusion in Service Requests.

Insights

The Insights page provides analytical views for timeline events, operating-system issues, best-practice compliance, system changes, recommended software, database-server metrics and alerts, RPMs, database and kernel parameters, patches, space usage, database anomalies, and performance reports. Timeline filtering and faceted views correlate events across components, databases, hosts, and time, with associated files available in the File Viewer. Operating-system views cover configuration, metrics, anomalies, Exawatcher data, process groups, and detailed snapshots, while compliance, change, patch, capacity, and parameter views support filtering and cross-node comparison. Database Anomalies Advisor identifies causes and corrective actions, and AWR, AWR Compare, and Performance Hub reports support performance troubleshooting, subject to applicable licensing and collection requirements.

AHF Insights Interactive Subshell Command Reference

The AHF Insights interactive subshell allows users to inspect report contents directly from a terminal without extracting or transferring files. Launch it with ahf analysis explore --type insights --from-file FILE, then use show -s to display summaries, topology, databases, problems, events, changes, software, alerts, RPMs, parameters, patches, space, and performance reports. Optional filters support ASM and cluster resources, specific databases, timestamps, hosts, instances, patch bugs, components, and hidden parameters. The REPL supports show, clear, help, and exit, while paginated output provides navigation, search, and back controls.
