eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by TibUnUsgTest

This test periodically monitors the space usage of the UNDO tablespace, and proactively alerts administrators to excessive space consumption by, or deficiencies in space allocations to, the UNDO tablespace.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each database server being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Total_size Indicates the total size of the UNDO tablespace. MB  
Used_size Indicates the used size of the UNDO tablespace. MB  
Free_size Indicates the free size of the UNDO tablespace. MB Ideally, the value of this measurement should be very high.
Free_percent Indicates the percentage of space allocated to the UNDO tablespace, which is still unused. Percent Typically, a high percentage of free space is desired. A value close to 0 or a consistent decrease in the value of this measure could indicate excessive space consumption by the UNDO tablespace or insufficient space allocation; lack of free space for the UNDO tablespace can severely affect database performance, and can even cause the database to hang! To avoid such adversities, you might want to consider allocating more space to the UNDO tablespace.
