Database Job Status

The metrics in this category represent the health of database jobs registered through the DBMS_SCHEDULER interface.

Broken Job Count

The Oracle Server job queue is a database table that stores information about local jobs such as the PL/SQL call to execute for a job such as when to run a job. Database replication is also managed by using the Oracle job queue mechanism using jobs to push deferred transactions to remote master sites, to purge applied transactions from the deferred transaction queue or to refresh snapshot refresh groups.

A job can be broken in two ways:

  • Oracle failed to successfully execute the job after a specified number of attempts (defined in the job).

  • The job is explicitly marked as broken by using the procedure DBMS_JOB.BROKEN.

This metric checks for broken DBMS jobs. A critical alert is generated if the number of broken jobs exceeds the value specified by the threshold argument.

Target Version Evaluation and Collection Frequency Default Warning Threshold Default Critical Threshold Alert Text

%value% job(s) are broken.

Failed Job Count

The Oracle Server job queue is a database table that stores information about local jobs such as the PL/SQL call to execute for a job such as when to run a job. Database replication is also managed by using the Oracle job queue mechanism using jobs to push deferred transactions to remote master sites, to purge applied transactions from the deferred transaction queue or to refresh snapshot refresh groups.

If a job returns an error while Oracle is attempting to execute it, the job fails. Oracle repeatedly tries to execute the job doubling the interval of each attempt. If the job fails after a specified number of times (specified in the job definition), Oracle automatically marks the job as broken and no longer tries to execute it.

This metric checks for failed DBMS jobs. An alert is generated if the number of failed job exceeds the value specified by the threshold argument.

Datafile Allocation

This section provides information on the metrics in the Datafile Allocation category.

The allocated space is the current size of the datafile. A portion of this allocated space is used to store data while some may be free space. The metrics in this category check the amount of space used and the amount of space allocated to each datafile. The used space can then be compared to the allocated space to determine how much space is unused in the datafile. This metric is not intended for alerts. Rather it is intended for reporting. Historical views of unused allocated free space can help DBAs to correctly size their datafiles, eliminating wasted space.

Target Version Evaluation and Collection Frequency
All versions Every 24 hours
Metric Name Description Data Source
Allocated File Size (MB) The space allocated to the datafile. This metric should be used in conjunction with the Used File Size (MB) metric to produce a historical view of the amount of space being used and unused in each datafile.
  • Datafile: dba_data_files
  • Tempfile: dba_temp_files
Used File Size (MB) The space used in the datafile. This metric should be used in conjunction with the Allocated File Size (MB) metric to produce a historical view of the amount of space being used and unused in each datafile.
  • Datafile: Subtract allocated free space (dba_lmt_free_space and dba_dmt_free_space) from allocated file size (dba_data_files)
  • Tempfile: gv$temp_extent_pool.bytes_used

Failed Logins

The metrics in this category check for the number of failed logins on the target database. This check is performed every interval specified by the collection frequency and returns the number of failed logins for the last 30 minutes. These metrics will only work for databases where the audit_trail initialization parameter is set to DB or XML and the session is being audited.

Failed Login Count

This metric checks for the number of failed logins on the target database. This check is performed every interval specified by the collection frequency and returns the number of failed logins for the last 30 minutes. This metric will only work for databases where the audit_trail initialization parameter is set to DB or XML and the session is being audited.

If the failed login count crosses the values specified in the threshold arguments, then a warning or critical alert is generated. Because it is important to know every time a significant number of failed logins occurs on a system, on every collection, this metric determines the number of failed login attempts in the last 30 minutes and overrides the current alert instead of a new alert. You can manually clear these alerts.They will not automatically cleared after the next collection.

Response

This metric category represent the responsiveness of the Oracle Server, with respect to a client. For PDB, it is also indicative of the state of the PDB. For example, an Open state maps to Up and a Closed/Mounted state maps to Down. If the PDB target exists but the PDB has been dropped/unplugged from the CDB, the target will be in Metric Collection Error.

Tablespace Used Space (MB)

This metric calculates the space used for each tablespace. It is not intended to generate alerts. Rather it should be used in conjunction with the Tablespace Allocated Space (MB) metric to produce a historical view of the amount of space being used and unused by each tablespace.

Target Version Collection Frequency

Data Source

Tablespace Used Space (MB) is Tablespace Allocated Space (MB)� Tablespace Allocated Free Space (MB) where:

Tablespace Allocated Space (MB) is calculated by looping through the tablespace�s data files and totaling the size of the data files.

Tablespace Allocated Free Space (MB) is calculated by looping through the tablespace�s data files and totaling the size of the free space in each data file.

Tablespace Allocation

The metrics in this metric category check the amount of space used and the amount of space allocated to each tablespace. The used space can then be compared to the allocated space to determine how much space is unused in the tablespace. This metric is intended for reporting, rather than alerts. Historical views of unused allocated free space can help DBAs to correctly size their tablespaces, eliminating wasted space.

Tablespace Allocated Space (MB)

The allocated space of a tablespace is the sum of the current size of its data files. A portion of this allocated space is used to store data while some may be free space. If segments are added to a tablespace, or if existing segments grow, they will use the allocated free space. The allocated free space is only available to segments within the tablespace. If, over time, the segments within a tablespace are not using this free space, the allocated free space is not being used.

This metric calculates the space allocated for each tablespace. It is not intended to generate alerts. Rather it should be used in conjunction with the Allocated Space Used (MB) metric to produce a historical view of the amount of space being used and unused by each tablespace.

The allocated space of a tablespace is the sum of the current size of its datafiles. Some of this allocated space is used to store data and some of it may be free space. If segments are added to a tablespace, or if existing segments grow, they will use the allocated free space. The allocated free space is only available to segments within the tablespace. If, over time, the segments within a tablespace are not using this free space, then the allocated free space is being wasted.

Tablespaces Full

The metrics in this metric category check for the amount of space used by each tablespace. The used space is then compared to the available free space to determine tablespace fullness. The available free space accounts for the maximum data file size as well as available disk space. This means that a tablespace will not be flagged as full if data files can extend and there is enough disk space available for them to extend.

Tablespace Free Space (MB)

As segments within a tablespace grow, the available free space decreases. If there is no longer any available free space, meaning data files reached their maximum size or there is no more disk space, then the creation of new segments or the extension of existing segments will fail.

This metric checks for the total available free space in each tablespace. This metric is intended for larger tablespaces, where the Available Space Used (%) metric is less meaningful. If the available free space falls below the size specified in the threshold arguments, then a warning or critical alert is generated.

If the version of the monitored database target is Oracle Database 10g Release 1 or later and the tablespace uses Local Extent Management, then the Oracle Database Server evaluates this metric internally every 10 minutes. Alternatively, if the version of the monitored Database target is Oracle 9i or earlier, or the tablespace uses Dictionary Extent Management, then the Oracle Management Agent tests the value of this metric every 30 minutes.

User Action

Perform one of the following:

  • Increase the size of the tablespace by: Enabling automatic extension for one of its existing data files, manually resizing one of its existing data files, or adding a new data file.

  • If the tablespace is suffering from tablespace free space fragmentation problems, consider reorganizing the entire tablespace.

This means that a tablespace will not be flagged as full if data files can extend and there is enough disk space available for them to extend.

Tablespace Free Space (MB) (Temp)

As segments within a tablespace grow, the available free space decreases. If there is no more free space available, that is, the data files have hit their maximum size or there is no more disk space, then the creation of new segments or the extension of existing segments will fail.

This metric checks for the total available free space in each temporary tablespace.

For additional information about the data source, refer to the problemTbsp.pl Perl script located in the sysman/admin/scripts directory.

User Action

If possible, increase the value of the segment�s MAXEXTENTS storage parameter. Otherwise, rebuild the segment with a larger extent size ensuring the extents within a segment are the same size by using a locally managed tablespace. For a dictionary managed tablespace, specify STORAGE parameters where NEXT=INITIAL and PCTINCREASE = 0.

Segments Not Able to Extend

This metric checks for segments that cannot allocate an additional extent.

This is a database-level metric. For cluster databases, this metric is monitored at the cluster database target level and not by member instances.

Data Source

The first 10 segment names that cannot allocate an additional extent in the tablespace.

User Action

Perform one of the following:

  • Increase the size of the tablespace by enabling automatic extension for one of its existing data files, manually resizing one of its existing data files, or adding a new data file.

  • If the tablespace is suffering from tablespace free space fragmentation problems, consider reorganizing the entire tablespace.

Segments Not Able to Extend Count

This metric checks for segments that cannot allocate an additional extent. If the number of segments is greater than the values specified in the threshold arguments, a warning or critical alert is generated.

%value% segments in %name% tablespace in pluggable database %pdbName% unable to extend.

Data Source

After checking for the largest chunk free space in the tablespace, this is the number of segments that cannot allocate an additional extent.

For additional information about the data source, refer to the problemTbsp.pl Perl script located in the sysman/admin/scripts directory.

User Action

Perform one of the following:

  • Increase the size of the tablespace by enabling automatic extension for one of its existing data files, manually resizing one of its existing data files, or adding a new data file.

  • If the tablespace is suffering from tablespace free space fragmentation problems, consider reorganizing the entire tablespace.

  • Relocate segments to another tablespace, thereby increasing the free space in this tablespace.

Temporary File Status

This metric category provides the temporary file status metrics.

File Name

The name of the temporary file.

Not Defined

The temporary file %NAME% in pluggable database %pdbName% is %STATUS%.

Data Source

The STATUS column of the V$TEMPFILE view.

User Action

If the default settings are still in use, an offline temporary file will generate an incident (alert). Determine whether this file is expected to be offline and if not, switch it back online. Also, if this file is expected to be offline, ensure that the temporary tablespace it belongs to has other available online temporary files.

Temporary File Id

The absolute file number of the temporary file, used to join with other database tables and views to retrieve additional information.
