You can then use the following tabs to analyse performance: Summary, Logical SQL, Query Generation, Execution Log. Tip: When you're looking at metrics on the Summary tab, to see a more detailed definition of each metric, hover over a metric in the Request Statistics column or a legend on the adjacent chart.

Enable Developer Options

You enable developer options in Oracle Analytics Server to perform advanced tasks, such as accessing embedding links or analyzing workbook performance. To use developer options, you must have administrator or content author privileges. If you're not sure, contact your administrator.

Developer options aren't available if you log into Oracle Analytics Server with consumer privileges only. However, you can analyze the performance of a visualization canvas by appending a workbook URL in your browser with &devtools=true.
