Behind Every Application is a
Database!

The Importance of Databases
Database

Database Technology Trends
NoSQL databases like
MongoDB account for < 1%.
Oracle databases are used
38% of the time for critical
functions.

Almost an equal share of
physical and virtual servers.
Cloud deployments starting.

Future Oracle deployments
will be virtualized. Cloud
deployments will also
increase.

Virtualization Introduces New
Dependencies, New Challenges
Slow Database Queries Streaming Media App
Disk reads
Excessive disk reads by the media server
slow down Oracle database accesses
Virtual infrastructures are hard to manage. Traditional monitoring
tools are not designed to handle these dynamic environments.

Oracle Database Monitoring Today
Primarily using Oracle
Enterprise Manager

Oracle Database Monitoring Challenges
 OEM mainly an expert’s tool. Experts spend too much
time in troubleshooting routine issues.
 How applications use the database can impact the
performance of the database. Application slowness is
always blamed on the database tier!
 OEM mainly provides visibility into the database tier.
Databases run on virtual platforms, use storage –
slowness here impacts database performance.

The IT Service Management Challenge
Shell Scripts - Unix CiscoWorks - Network
OEM - Database
VMware VCOPS - Virtual
Event Viewer - Windows
Task Manager - Windows
EMC Ionix - Storage

Monitoring of Oracle Databases
 Unix & Windows Servers
 Virtualization Platforms
Correlating Database Performance
 With other infrastructure tiers

Monitoring Oracle Database Servers
Availability
• Instance status
• Listener status
Space Usage
• Database space
• Tablespace usage
• Archive area
• Dump area
• Large tables
Workload
• Top queries by CPU used
• Top queries by phy reads
• Top queries by elapsed
time
• Top queries by buffer gets
Memory
• Library cache hit ratio
• Dictionary cache hit
ratio
• Buffer cache hit ratio
• Locks
Optimization
• Redo log buffers
• Sorts on disk
• Large table scans
• Datafiles by I/O
• Index fragmentation
Sessions
• Active sessions
• User logons/logouts
• Calls/sec, Trans/sec
• Root-blockers
• Processes by state

eG Enterprise for Oracle Monitoring
 Monitoring made Easy
 Quick to diagnose
 Correlated views for root-cause
diagnosis
 Actionable insights
 Not just for experts
 Best practices built-in

Oracle Database Performance
There is a critical tablespace
alert.
There is no space in the
tablespace.

Multi-Level Thresholds
The dashed lines indicate 3
levels of thresholds – Minor,
Major & Critical. This allows
for alarm escalation should
the problem severity increase.

Tracking Configuration Changes
There has been a recent
change in datafile
configuration.
There has been a change
in the size of the datafile –
from 500MB to 20MB
(someone made a
mistake!)

Analyzing Current Configuration

Comparing Database Configurations

Identify Hot Data Files

Monitoring Database User Connections

Auto-Baselining of Metrics
Automatic baselines
determined by the monitoring
system. The baselines vary
based on time of day.

Detecting Long Running Queries
There is one long running
query on the database server.

Detecting Long Running Queries
The long running query

Detecting the Need for Reindexing
Indicates the need to recreate
a table’s index

Detecting the Need for Reindexing

Managing Other Databases
A Microsoft SQL Server

Detecting Blocking Queries
There is a process blocking
everyone else – i.e., root-blocker.

Detecting Blocking Queries
Query being executed by the
root-blocker

Advantages of eG Enterprise
 Consistent way of managing different database
servers
 Don’t need experts to use the tool
 Learning curve is short
 Single paradigm across all tiers/platforms
 Correlation rules automatically built-in
 No need to build complex if/then/else rules
 Focus on the cause, don’t be distracted by effects

Monitoring Beyond the Database Tier

Service Topology View

SAP is Seeing a Problem
Many SAP processes are on
hold

SAP Processes are Hung on Reports
Many SAP processes are on
hold while generating reports.

Oracle Errors Are Happening
Many errors have been
detected in the Oracle
alert log.

Oracle Errors Are Happening
Could not create a new
file or update an existing
file.

Virtual Topology
The database issue seems
to be caused by a VMware
vSphere problem!

VMware Performance Insights
One of the datastores on
the VMware server is full,
thereby causing database
access to fail.
