Metric Descriptions


Metric	Description
Filesystem size	The size of the filesystem
Filesystem free %	The percentage of the free disk space on the filesystem.
Filesystem Free Space	The amount (in megabytes) of free disk space on the filesystem
Filesystem Name	The name of the filesystem
Filesystem Type	The type of filesystem (datafiles, dump files or mixed files)
Long Term Estimated Till Full	Estimated number of hours until the filesystem is full, based on the long-term growth rate
Long Term Growth Rate	The estimated long-term growth rate of the filesystem
Mounted On	Mount point name.
Operating System	The name of the operating system where this instance runs
Short Term Estimated Till Full	Estimated number of hours until the filesystem is full, based on the short-term growth rate
Short Term Growth Rate	The filesystem’s estimated short-term growth rate
Used	The amount of used disk space on the filesystem
Used %	The percentage of the used disk space on the filesystem
Used Growth	The growth (in megabytes) of used disk space on the filesystem

Flashback Area

If the flash recovery area feature was used for creating a location on disk that enables the database to create various backup and recovery-related files, the Flashback Area collection provides information about this location.

Collection Type

Metric Descriptions

Indicates the types of the files stored on the flashback area:

•

•

•

•

•

•

Non Reclaimable Space Percent

The percentage, within the flashback area, of non-reclaimable space (space currently in use, which cannot be reclaimed).

Number of Files

Indicates the number of files currently stored on the flashback area.

Used Space Percent

The percentage of used space within the entire disk space allocated to the flashback area.

History Locks Tree Instance

The History Locks Tree Instance collection collects snapshots of instance-level locks that reached or exceeded the minimal duration, in seconds, required for collecting the lock. All locks that meet this criterion are displayed in the lower section of the Locks Historical Tree pane.

Metric Descriptions

The SQL statement that waits for lock release

Blocked SQL Hash

The hash value of the statement waiting for lock

Blocking Serial

Serial number of the locking session

A SID that holds locks

The name of the computer where the client is running

Indicates whether the global lock and the locking and blocked sessions are running on different RAC nodes (True) or not (False)

The Oracle database account of the started session

The name of the host where the instance is installed

Instance name of the session in the lock tree

The number of seconds the lock is running

The wait event on which the blocked statement is waiting

The lock mode in which the session holds the lock.

The lock mode can have one of the following values:

•

•

1 - null (NULL)

•

•

•

•

5 - S/Row-X (SSX)

•

6 - exclusive (X)

Lock Request Mode

The lock mode in which the process requests the lock.

The lock request mode has the same possible values as the lock mode.

The type of user or system lock.

The locks on the user types are obtained by user applications. Any process that is blocking others is likely to be holding one of these locks.

The user type locks are as follows:

•

TM - DML enqueue

•

TX - Transaction enqueue

•

UL - User supplied

The object on which the statement is blocked

The operating system user for the Client

In multitenant architectures, the name of the pluggable database.

The operating system process ID for the Oracle server process

The server program name

The session’s serial number. The combination of SID and serial number provides a unique identification of the session.

The session identification number

History Locks Tree RAC

The History Locks Tree RAC collection collects snapshot of all locks within the RAC that reached or exceeded the minimal duration, in seconds, required for collecting the lock. All locks that meet this criterion are displayed in the lower section of the Locks Historical Tree pane
