eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by OraTabGrwthTest

Periodic monitoring of the usage of the database is essential to ensure that the database is always adequately sized to handle current and future loads. It is also essential to monitor the size of the objects within a database too. If the growth of any object is uncontrollable, then other objects in the database may be deprived of space to store critical data. The Oracle Object Growth test helps administrators in figuring out the exact objects that have been growing beyond a pre-configured size. Using this test administrators can isolate the objects that have been growing uncontrollably and analyze if those objects need to be resized.

This test monitors the objects in the target Oracle Database server and reports the count of objects that have exceeded growing beyond a pre-configured size. This test also reveals the maximum size up to which the objects can grow.

Note:

This test will not report metrics for an Oracle 12c CDB server.

Outputs of the Test: One set of results for every SID monitored.

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Table_count Indicates the total number of objects that have grown beyond the limit specified against the OBJECT GROWTH SIZE parameter.  
Max_growth_size Indicates the maximum size upto which the objects continued to grow during the last measurement period. MB The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the objects that continued to grow and the size of the objects.
Max_growth_rate Indicates the maximum growth of an object in terms of percentage. Percent Use the detailed diagnosis to figure out the objects that recorded the maximum growth.
