Automated Cloud Scale Performance Monitoring capabilities with Exadata Software version 19.1

Starting with v12.2, Oracle Autonomous Health Framework (AHF) multiple components work together 24x7 autonomously to keep the database system healthy and reduces human intervention & reaction time utilizing machine learning technologies .

There is no doubt that Exadata Database Machine delivers extreme performance for all sorts of workload. However, diagnosing critical performance issues still needs some manual work and human intervention to identify root causes. This blog post highlights a new autonomous performance enhancement introduced with Exadata system software v 19.1.

Exadata software Release 19.1 comes with an automated, cloud-scale performance monitoring for a wide-range of sub-systems, such as: CPU, Memory, File System, I/O and network. This feature built with the combination of years of real-world performance triaging experience by Oracle Support, industry best practices and Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. This feature simplifies root cause analysis without much human intervention. It can automatically detect runtime critical performance issues and also figure out the root cause without human intervention.

Taking a few real-world scenarios, as a DBA, we all have come across on many occasions where a spinning process on a database server eating up all system resources causing complete database death (poor performance). With this enhancement, Exadata System Software automatically identifies the exact process that is causing spinning and generates an alert with root cause analysis. Another typical example will be automatically detecting the misconfiguration of huge pages settings on the server and sending alerts. When how a server and perform badly if the huge pages setting is right on the system.

No additional configuration and special skill set is required for this. Management Server (MS) is responsible to perform these activities. All you need is have Exadata software version 19.1 or higher, and configure your alerts on the servers.
