Latches Activity

The Latches Activity collection collects latches activity-related data.

Collection Type

Frequency Mode	Collection Interval (Seconds)
Realtime Collection	20
Online	60
Offline	300

Metric Descriptions


Metric	Description
Cache Buffer Chain Latch	This latch is acquired whenever a block in the buffer cache is accessed (pinned)
Cache Buffer LRU Chain Latch	This latch is acquired in order to introduce a new block into the buffer cache and when writing a buffer back to disk, specifically when trying to scan the LRU chain that contains all of the dirty blocks in the buffer cache
Latch Free Waits	Number of waits for a latch that is currently busy (held by another process)
Library Cache Latch	This latch is acquired in order to add a new statement to the library cache. During a parse, Oracle searches the library cache for a matching statement. If one is not found, then Oracle will parse the SQL statement, obtain the library cache latch and insert the new SQL.
Library Cache Pin Latch	This latch is acquired when a statement in the library cache is re-executed
Redo Allocation Latch	This latch is acquired in order to allocate space within the redo log buffer. There is one redo allocation latch per instance.
Redo Copy Latch	This latch is acquired in order to write redo records into the redo log buffer. There may be up to LOG_SIMULTANEOUS_COPIES allocation latches.
Shared Pool Latch	This Latch is acquired when allocating and freeing memory in the shared pool
Total Active Time	Total amount of time waited for the event (in seconds)

Metric Descriptions


Metric	Description
Average Lock Duration	The average time (in milliseconds) that a resource was locked (held in contention). High values of lock duration may indicate aggressive lock incidence which may be improved through tuning. The metric is calculated as follows: 100 * (Lock Wait) Enqueue Waits
Enqueue Waits	The total number of times an enqueue request or conversion resulted in a wait.
Enqueue Waits Ratio	The percentage of enqueue wait events (waits resulting from enqueue requests or conversions) within the total time consumed by enqueue operations.
Gets	The total number of enqueue requests or enqueue conversions for this type of enqueue.
Gets Pct	The percentage of lock requests of this type within the total number of lock requests
Lock Efficiency	The percentage of lock requests that did not escalate to a blocking lock.
Lock Name	The name of the lock.
Lock Wait	The total amount of time spent waiting for the enqueue or enqueue conversion.
Waits Pct	The percentage of waits for this type of lock, of all the locks.

Locks Breakdown

The Locks Breakdown collection provides lock requests and wait information, including the percentage of time spent on locks of the following types: system, TX, TM, User-defined.

System Locks Percentage	The percentage of time the sessions spent waiting on System locks, out of the entire time spent waiting on locks.
System Locks Wait Time	The percentage of time the sessions spent waiting on System locks.
TM Locks Wait Time	The amount of time the sessions spent waiting on TM locks.
TM Percentage	The percentage of time the sessions spent waiting on TM locks, out of the entire time spent waiting on locks.
Total Lock Wait	The total time the sessions spent waiting on locks.
TX Locks Wait Time	The amount of time the sessions spent waiting on TX locks.
TX Percentage	The percentage of time the sessions spent waiting on TX locks, out of the entire time spent waiting on locks.
UL Locks Wait Time	The amount of time the sessions spent waiting on user-defined lock types.
UL Percentage	The percentage of time the sessions spent waiting on user-defined locks, out of the entire time spent waiting on locks.
