Prepare to Identify Inefficient Database Performance

Use Database Performance Analytics to perform a historical, comparative analysis to find any bottlenecks affecting enterprise-wide database performance. You can also determine the root cause of recurring systemic problems, identify the performance profile and activity types for CPU or I/O intensive database activities.

Learn About Identifying Database Performance Issues

One of the first steps in determining database performance issues is identifying the cause.

Gain insights into the performance of your databases by viewing the following details:

Databases with varying workload performance
Databases which are increasingly inefficient
Databases degrading in performance with decrease in demand
Databases degrading in performance without change in demand
Databases degrading in performance with increase in demand

Review each task in the table to help identify database performance issues.

Task	Purpose
Analyze workloads with unusual characteristics	Analyze database inefficiency.
Analyze performance trends	Analyze performance trends over a specified time-period.
Analyze database performance degradation and access workload stability	Identify the databases that have degraded in performance. Identify negative correlations between performance trends and demand. Identify the databases that have varying performance.

Before you begin, you must:

Establish a communication channel between Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Oracle Management Cloud. Configure a private subnet for the database host and a public subnet for the gateway.
Install an agent on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure system where your database is running.
Discover the database.
Enable Oracle Management Cloud - Enterprise Edition on both the Host (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure system) and the database.
