Analyze Database Interconnect Activity
View the current interconnect activity trend, compare interconnect activity across databases, and forecast future interconnect resources for a later time period.
Analyze Interconnect Trend Over Time
The Interconnect section under the Overview tab displays the current trend of interconnect activity in terms of bytes sent, across the selected databases for the specific time period.
Alternatively, click the Interconnect tile in the navigation pane to view the current trend of interconnect activity and forecast future activity.

Compare Interconnect Activity Between Databases
The volume and percentage changes of the interconnect activity are represented by the size and color of the cells, respectively. Cells that are larger have greater interconnect activity than smaller cells. The largest cell would be that of the database with the highest interconnect activity. The color of the cells is determined by the percentage change in the interconnect activity during the specified time period.
Analyze Current Interconnect Trend and Forecast Activity
For the Database Resource Analytics application to forecast your resource utilization for a year, there must be at least 13 months of data stored in the Oracle IT Analytics warehouse. The forecast value is more accurate when there’s more data stored in the Oracle IT Analytics warehouse.
You can use the forecast and current interconnect activity for capacity planning.
